The Mind of Mierow

Two strikes & no outs October 22, 2011

Not the perfect sport metaphor, but it was the first thing that popped into my head. Since I’ve gotten a few things checked off my homework list I figured I’d take a break and write up a quick blog post.

Still no luck on getting pregnant. This is something that takes time but after nearly a decade it can be tough to keep your patience. Thankfully we’re surrounded by an awesome group of people that support us in more ways than they could even know. From in depth prayers and conversations to a quick text or IM – we’re so blessed to have some amazing people in our lives. A few more months of this path and if it still hasn’t worked then we’ll look at a new path. So while the past two months have been disappointing it is by no means a sign for us to give up. The game may change but we’re willing to adjust.

On the student front I’ve had a great start to classes. Rasmussen works on the quarter system which means that classes are 11 weeks long followed by a 2 week break. This makes the classes fly by. I’m already ending week 3 of my 2nd quarter. I received a 4.0gpa last quarter (a 1st in my academic history!) but I only had two classes. This quarter I’ve bumped up to three so we’ll see how long I can maintain my grades and my sanity. I’m enjoying the classes and discussions that are happening. I originally thought that I wouldn’t be done until the summer or fall of 2013, but if I can keep up with at least 3 classes each quarter I think I can be done by the end of 2012. This quarter will go a long way to telling me if this will be too many classes a quarter or not.

Short and sweet. Time to get back to the homework so I can actually enjoy a moment of downtime this weekend.
