Indee....so shleepy
swingin' on the Oak
checka my new soccer ball!CA was great! I got to see little Indee, spent some time with my lady and played around with Nicole. Boy, that girl is growing soo fast! In the seven weeks I was gone she can run, skip, hop, climb, and chatters. We went to Baby's R Us to shop for Indee's exer-saucer. On my way in I noticed a soccer store (score!) so I made my way over there with Nicole 007 style. While Sharie was in shopping heaven I rushed over to the soccer store with the intentions of buying me a soccer ball. However, plans changed somehow when we walked out Nicole was holding her first soccer ball and cleats and I didn't score me a ball! It's amazing how being a parent has a way of being content in seeing your little ones be happy. I know she's got me wrapped around her little finger, oh well.
I got to see Mika, Maya, and Manami they are growing up fast too! Somehow I convinced Mika to cook me some breakfast. I was kiddin' around with her and never thought anything of it until my sister in-law Kimmie called me the next morning. I guess Mika woke up saying she needed to make breakfast for me! Good times I tell ya!
Mika helping with breakfast!I'm truly blessed to be a part of such an awesome family. I just hope I can give back as much as I've received. On my way out I booked a place at the Hyatt (4 star). This was the first time I would stay at such a place and unfortunately it was anti-climatic. It was nice don't get me wrong but not "drop jaw" "pinch myself" experience. The funny part was our sleeping arrangement, that is all four of us on a king. I thought no problem mucho real estate for everyone. WRONG!!Sharie and I were on the ends and the kids in the middle. Nicole, like here Papa when I was young wrestled in her sleep, kickin' me left and right. Everytime I woke up to "foot on my chin" I thought I was having a nightmare starring Hulk Hogan womps on skinny mexican Sergio. Except when I woke up it was real and somehow managed to sleep on the edge of the bed without falling off!! I think I lost that match.
On the school front I went down in a blaze of glory with pathology 2 exam. This I'm afraid is my worst performance in vet school thus far. It is VERY frustrating because I dedicated every waking moment three days leading to that test!! I have two more test left in this class and need to pull a rabbit out my &*% somehow. I've officially reached for the "panic" button and must double up my efforts in this class. The scary thing about it is that in retrospect I would have done nothing different for that test. What is frustrating about this exam is that apparently almost half the class got A's, and 13 bot B's??? Vet school has a way of mixing a bunch of emotions and putting all in your head at once: panic, confusion, frustration, fatigue, and hope all wrapped up in one little package. Times like this I always remind myself "Sergio your family is healthy, your alive, there's more to life than vet school so get over it!" I've been doing alot of that lately. Oh, and we got 3% back from our last Pharm exam, phewwww!
