Update on School

As the communicator for the Mann family I thought it would be a good idea to give an update on Anthony's school. He is now about two months into PA school and is doing very well. His first grad school test ended with him getting a 40. Not a 40%, but 40 out of 40 correct. To hear him talk about he almost had heart failure when he saw the 40 is funny. He assumed it was % and not number of questions right. Once he started breathing again he realized he did not fail his first test, but actually got a 100%.

Since that first test he has continued to only get A's and a small number of B's. He studies everyday and is working so hard. He tells me he is a much better student now than he was his senior year at Doane. For all you Doane guys you know what I am talking about. He majored in Video Games his senior year :-) The other exciting news is that he was elected Vice President of his PA Society which was very exciting!

I guess the other school news is that I decided I didn't want to be the "uneducated" one of the pair and have decided to get my own Masters. Ha ha, just kidding. I decided that I do want a Masters and now is the best time to go for it. So starting in March 2010 I begin my Masters in Management. I know call me crazy, but no better time than now.

Night Shift

Well I survived my first 12 hour night shift. I came to work at 5:30pm on Friday evening and got off at 5:30am on Saturday morning. It was a long night, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was worried that I would fall asleep at my desk, but by the grace of God I was able to stay awake. I don't know how alert I was, but I made it. I think one of the hardest things of the night was when I was coming on Friday evening and watching the rest of the normal working world leave for their weekend :-( Plus I am only doing this for four weeks, so there is an end in sight. And now it's night two and I am halfway through, woo hoo...
