friday nights....

So one thing that I and many of my friends (all med school wives) have realized and started to come to terms with is that there is no such thing as a "Friday Night" or a "Weekend." I still remember the meeting for significant others at the beginning of school mom and I attended and this lady told all of us to never plan on having a weekend or a day off from medical school. At first I thought this was a bit harsh,

but now I understand what that mean lady meant.

There really is no such thing as a typical friday night, friday nights in med school mean something else. Sadly I have watched spence have to tell several of his friends...oh the games on...well i gotta study....friday night ya maybe but probably not....well i'll have to study all day on saturday too! poor spence he can never go out with his friends and play. You see the instructors are nice enough to give the exams on mondays which allow the boys more time to study!(Which we're all really grateful for) And with all the material they are required to go over they could use all the time in world to complete the material and be ready to be tested. so now i and my friends are learning the new meaning of Friday nights....it now means a long lonely weekend of watching your husband study all day from sun up to sun down (just like every other day of the week) and just cause its the "weekend" in the real world doesn't mean the craziness of school has taken a break, now weeekends mean catch up time for spence, and for me they mean.....hold on tight and create my own weekend fun.....but this friday night some co-workers from chef-to-chef had us over to make gingerbread houses!! Alyssa had everything together and we had a great time! This was spencer's first gingerbread decorating experience and he was so good at it that he has pattened several decorating techniques!! It was so fun to get out and actually remember how good Friday nights can be!! thanks spence for taking the night off from studying!
