High Pass

This week was chaotic.  We had 2 different people coming out to fix things at the house, and it ended up that each day they were coming was one of the days that Kevin had to go to school, the days they couldn't come he was home all day - how does it work out that way?

Almost everything is fixed at the house and he took his written comprehensive exams on Monday.  It was a huge weight lifted to have those tests behind him!  He wrote for a solid 3 hours on 3 different questions (one from each professor on his committee).    I can see that he's started to relax this week since they are over, and its been great to see.  He's been prepping for it since Christmas break and devoted all of his time over spring break (except the day trip to Woodville) to study for it.

He got the news yesterday that he passed and not just passed but got 'high pass' marks.  Congrats sweetie!!    I got a bottle of wine on the way home to have with dinner and toast his success.   The real celebration will have to wait until the end of the semester as he's still getting caught up on his classes.  I know it is a relief to him to have this hurdle behind him.

We watched Tower Heist last night, very funny and enjoyable.   I was not expecting to see Matthew Broderick.  

I'm hoping K can take a break tonight so we can see Hunger Games.  We rarely go to the movies anymore, so it says a lot that I want to go to see it (he is usually the one wanting to go to the movies) and I CANNOT WAIT!  I've read all 3 books, and actually reread the first one since I'd picked it for my book club.

Kevin registered for his last semester of grad school today!   

He is very ready for this semester to be over - he has just over a month left!   and next semester his classes will be closer to home, so we'll get to see each other more.  We're all happy about that - Smokey especially.

The last semester will be busy, he has to take comprehensive exams, but should be much less driving..
