Step 1

So you know your husband is studying for Step 1 if:
-you wake up to a strange woman's voice and then realize it is his alarm clock and it is talking about endotoxins and e-coli
-during sacrament meeting he leans over to you and whispers, "do you know what the kidney disease is that comes after e-coli 0157:h7?"
-you are constantly being interrupted (during a story you are telling about YOUR day)by him quizzing you about subject matter that your story reminds him of even though he knows you will not know the answer
-you turn down a girl's night to hang out with him and then he says, I have to finish taking a test first
-he starts using words like mittelschmertz and spinnbarkeit not in the context they should be (I will let you look them up!)
-you look over at him and he has a pen behind one ear and a highlighter behind the other (this is the case this very minute in fact)
-he is growing a hideously sharp beard/molesterstache......sigh....one day I will get my husband back!

ah crap! It's really coming, isn't it?

Elise said...

Good luck! This is most definitely the WORST month to month and a half of the entire medical education road. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. But once your done, you never have to help your husband survive Step 1 ever, ever again. :)

Hopefully you do get your husband back soon! Ha, but until then....Good luck to you both! Ace that test Chris!

Every conversation he starts, starts with, "Did you know..." Why does it start like that? It should just start, "GUESS WHAT I KNOW!"
J/K I'm so happy they're learning so much! I miss Dave too!

I'm pretty sure Dave and I have had some good 'ol sacrament meeting conversations about medecine.

May the mittelschmertz be with you young spinnbarkeit...
