I hope you weren't already getting used to me posting everyday: 2 posts in 2 days was definitely an anomaly. I do have a few minutes to update now though, as I wait for my Philosophy class to begin. Tonight, we are scheduled to discuss the ethics of belief. I can't say I'm overly thrilled, but I have to finish this class without failing in order to graduate, so I do what I can.
We had a blizzard of sorts this afternoon - poor visibility due to heavy snowfall and wind. It's still snowing, but it isn't as windy now. Hopefully it will stay that way until my drive home tonight. It's supposed to warm up some next week, but I'm afraid to believe it, just in case it stays winter until graduation. :P
Well, this is a short one, but I should head to class. I don't want to be late.
Much love,
~ M

Happy Easter
Since I spent the last post talking about how I'm doing, I thought it would be a good idea to let you know how things are going with Isaac.
Last weekend, he went to a neurologist in Maryland. He was home from Saturday night through Monday afternoon. The results of the appointment were promising. While the neurologist confirmed that Isaac may get migraines, he was of the opinion that this shouldn't be cause for disqualification at med school. He should hear from the USUHS medical waiver committee by the beginning of May (At the very latest) as to whether he will get the waiver and be able to attend the school. He's also been wait-listed at 3 schools: Wayne State (Detroit), University of Maryland (Baltimore), and Georgetown University (downtown Washington, D.C.). Being wait-listed means that they weren't able to give him a spot in the initial round, but they are also not able to disqualify him because he had a strong application. In the event that spots open up, Isaac's application would be looked over again, so there would be a second opportunity to be accepted. (Isaac is reading over my shoulder and telling me how to say things- just in case you perceive a discontinuity in my writing style.)
He's still busy with his 2 jobs. He recently started at another countertop/solid surface place. Here, they're teaching him how to work with granite. He says it's different from working with Corian-which is what he's used to from working in his Maryland shop, but it's fun too. He's saving the money he's making now to use once we're married, which is good since I probably won't be able to start work right away.
Well, we're going to start making our easter dinner now. We're doing duck with an orange sauce, potatoes, green beans, and sauteed onions and mushrooms, and home-made bread. For dessert, I'm making a key lime pie (Isaac's favourite). Quite a feast!
'Til Later,
Mary (and Isaac)

A Thousand Apologies
Man! You guys must think I'm a horrible person- well at least not a loyal blogger. I will admit, I've been busy, but not so busy that I haven't had a few moments to update the blog. Maybe it's because I feel that I have nothing new going on in my life. But now I realize blogs aren't only for writing about exciting things. Many times it's the small things in life that count for much, or at least their effects can sometimes stay with you longer than some exciting things.
So, I'll try again.
I applied for a volunteer position at the Gerald R. Ford museum, here in downtown Grand Rapids. I've completed the secondary paperwork and have been fingerprinted. I'm just waiting to here from the volunteer coordinator about when I can come in to work. I'm really quite excited about this. I also talked to my photography Prof. this evening. She is the who encouraged me to look for a volunteer postion in the first place. It was good to be able to update her on the situation. She really seems to care about how her students are doing outside of class- something I haven't encountered with too many of my profs.
My coursework is, of course, still going well. I got another round of tests out of the way this week. I got my math test score back already, an A-. Nearly a perfect score. I only had 1-part of a 2-part question wrong, but since there were only 8 questions any mistake would bring down the grade substantially. Oh well, A- is still nothing to sneeze at. :)
Since I don't want to bore you with too much writing, I'll leave it at this for now. Tomorrow, I intend to give my room a thorough cleaning. After that, Isaac has claimed me for the evening. We haven't been on a date away from our houses in a very long time, so he wants to take me out for supper. What a sweet guy.
Well, Dear Ones, I'm going to let myself (my eyes especially) get some sleep now.
Much Love,
~ Mary
