ryan's new love

Okay so we realize we've been a little lame lately with the lack of new posts. There just hasn't really been anything exciting to take note of! Once medical school started it really was just a routine of Ryan going to school, me staying home to search for internships, Ryan coming home from school, studying some more. Not that entertaining if you asked me. But! Say no more of boredom and routine! We just installed (screwed into the wall) a 4X8 sheet of dry erase board material in our 'office' room for Ryan to study with! Wow - the things that get us excited! It's been up for maybe two hours, and Ryan has used it so much already! What you see before you (if you can't tell) is a list of nerves, arteries, and muscles of the arm. Before that was a drawing of shoulder and clavicle joints. Believe me, now life can get exciting!

And not to boast of newly acquired materials ... but we have been quite successful bargain shoppers as well. A new desk (as pictured above), couch (with the use of a slip cover to hide the 90's floral print), kitchen table, and entertainment center have all been added to our new home. It's a slow start, but we are definitely excited to have placed to sit and put all of our stuff! :)

In addition to the material goods, I found an internship! I'll be an administrative intern for Ohio State University's department of Recreational Sports. For the next four months I will be considered full-time staff at the university, just without the benefit of a paycheck. That is a little disappointing, considering all the dues that must be paid for med school. We just need to keep telling ourselves that this is an investment! A very large, deep, gaping, huge, never-ending investment that will someday pay off. Once that day arrives, we will let you know. Until then, onward with the volunteer work and loans (yikes...)!!
