It's almost time to head to Delaware for my Christiana rotation. And while I'm getting excited to see the program, I'm going to miss playing with the family. I've spent a lot of time with the boys playing catch; mostly baseball and football. I feel a little guilty not having done a good job teaching the fundamentals of throwing a ball or catching a ball until now, but life has been crazy and soccer and swimming were all I could manage.
They are a little more confident with friends and in gym class now. Moreover, I'm still the cool dad :-).
All four of us swam together at the Arrowhead pool. The boys on their team and Becky and I on the Masters team. The coach had us doing hypoxia drills. Wow, I thought I was in decent shape, but 2000 yards of it wiped me out. The competitiveness of swimming with the other guys really pushed me.
I've also had a chance to work on a bunch of paperwork and small To Dos. I reviewed my Dean's Letter as recommended by the four EM PDs in Seattle a couple weeks ago. And I organized my four (so far) interviews. I scheduled my Morristown, NJ interview as early in the Christiana rotation as possible. It will be my work-up. Then I hope to take four or five more days off to interview at Christiana, UMaryland, Hopkins, Drexel, Georgetown and/or Cooper. It would save a ton of time and money.
I'm also enjoying hanging out, drinking wine with Becky and her sister in the evenings and playing a bit on the Xbox 360. Time to start printing all my logistical paperwork for the next month. And a couple more errands to try to squeeze in. Then it's off to Delaware.
