The Stress Mounts

Fourth Quarter... The dreaded fourth quarter. Infectious Diseases with Dr. Boss. He is known to flunk half of the students in a single blow.

I was so stressed about this quarter that I hurt my back just a few days before it even started! The first week they told us all the homework needed to do, the 17 online quizzes, 2 papers, group presentation, shadow a doctor, and more. Not only that but I had someone from the stake presidency of my church calling me to get me to talk in stake conference. Also, with Kimmy starting to crawl we had to baby proof the house and make sure that my wonderful wife was happy.

I broke. I came home one day and couldn't do it. I called my my dad who also did graduate school in Idaho (super cold). They didn't have money, little food, two kids, and somehow they made it! He gave me great advise that calmed me down. I then called up my good friend JD Chilton who is a counselor in the Elder's quorum. He gave me a blessing which really calmed me down. THANK YOU!

It's been hard on my wife though to see me go through this. I really want to make it up to her so if you have any suggestions, please let me know so that I can help her know that she is still number one in my life :)
