I've been thinking about creating another blog titled "Gunter and Ahna's adventures while Matt stays home to study for the MCAT". Though the title may be a bit long, it is exactly what May has been about. Oh, and June will be too.
Don't get me wrong, I completely support Matt and his quest to become a doctor. I can't think of a career better suited to him. And he's doing amazing. It's been fun to watch him focus on school and studying in his relaxed yet annoyingly competent way. I'm re-learning how to share him (with books?) and trying to get used to the idea, since this is only the beginning of a long journey for the both of us.
For my part, I've begun to seek out local friends and activities in Newport to keep me busy during the evenings or weekends. And I try to keep quiet at night (like right now, I'm blogging so he can read organic chemistry). I'm daydreaming about gardening and creating pottery. But end up spending way too much time watching TV and searching for puppies on Craigslist. Oh well.
