Final Semester
Well, we've made it to Sean's last semester of classes! They start up again on Monday, January 5. His Spring semester finals will take place the last week in April, followed by two weeks in which he and his research group will complete their project and defend their findings to a panel of medical professionals. Sean's clinicals begin on June 8, so it looks like we'll have about 3 weeks to get packed, moved and settled in Las Vegas.
Sean's Spring schedule of classes is (of course) a busy one. On most mornings, his classes begin around 7:30. He has found that traffic is easier to deal with and parking is easier to find the earlier he goes in, so he'll probably continue to go in to school around 6:00am to study or work-out during the time before classes start. He'll probably remain at school, either in class, lab or study sessions until either 1:00 or 4:00 each afternoon.
Sean's classes consist of the following:
Anesthesia Lecture, Anesthesia Simulation Lab, Medical Pharmacology, Clinical Pharmacology, Policy and Ethics, Research and Statistics, and Research Lab. He will also have a few military Operational Readiness lectures.
I will continue volunteering at the National Naval Medical Center throughout Sean's final semester here, as well as taking care of all things "home related", and will also begin looking for a place for us in Las Vegas.
Sean's Spring Break is the last week in March, although he will spend the majority of that time working on his research project. An Air Force friend of ours who will be starting classes in the CRNA program in June will be coming to visit us during this time, and I will get to show her around the area and help her do some house-hunting while Sean helps her get familiarized with university stuff. I may also need to take a trip to Las Vegas around this time to do some house-hunting of my own.
So, we're back to the busy school schedule and stress. And although it's sort of daunting, we also know it's just one more semester and we can make it through. I can't believe how fast the time has flown! I'll continue to post updates as Sean's final semester progresses.

Yes, Sean's vacation time flew by quickly! But perhaps the class time will also fly since he will be so busy! You will be back to some kind of routine too, but knowing that "this too shall pass" may make it more tolerable for you! Love and hugs to you both as you begin the last semester of "hard" work, though of a different type for each of you!
I know the feeling of almost being done with classes, etc. Brenden has 1 semester left(maybe 2 if he doesnt finish up this next summer). We are definitly thankful for the last 4 years of his education, but we are ready for a breath of fresh air and something new in our lives! Tell Sean goodluck!
Dani and Sean - good for you. We are proud of you both for making it to the finish line. xo melodie
