November 21, 2000

Wow, I’m glad that it’s finally Tuesday afternoon. I just finished my stupid written exams that I have been talking about for weeks. They took place over two days and after yesterday I thought I was doomed. The first two that I took yesterday for accounting and national/international logistics and trade were super hard. I hate accounting; I always get all of the different sides mixed up. Anyway, the two I had today for national/international logistics and trade and world economics went well. Wow, I’ve been carrying around the burden of these tests for months and now they are behind me. Now I just have to pass my oral tests in January and I’ll be state certified!!

On to the TTC front. I don’t think we did the BD the whole week. I’ve been so uptight and anal the whole week, poor Stefan. I’m not usually like that (OK, at least not to this degree!!) unless I am stressed out. But tonight Stefan, I and the in-laws are going over to Holland to my favorite Chinese restaurant. The food there is sooo good. Neither of us speaks Dutch (I always feel kind of rude, like, “OK, you have to speak my language but I don’t have to speak yours.”), but with a little hand and foot action, we usually have a 90 percent chance of getting what we intended to order.

Starting tomorrow, I will increase my meds by a half a tablet. I’ve been taking 0.25 mg (one-half tablet) of Dexamethasone and the OB said that I should start out with a half dose and increase slowly. I don’t know what kind of side effects the medication has (except an exaggerated sense of well being (is that supposed to be bad??) so I wanted to be kind of careful. But until now I haven’t noticed anything. Actually, I haven’t noticed anything at all. I still haven’t Oed yet (ya, I know it might take a while to kick the ovaries into action after slackin’ for so long). Maybe I will with 0.50 mg.

For the next one and a half months I can enjoy life again. It’s really amazing how much stress school can put on a person, especially when that person is married. I talked to my sis last week and she is also married and going to school for her second degree. We decided that marriage, TTC and school are really too much. It puts such a strain on a marriage. If I had known how crappy it would be I probably might have skipped it. But I want to finish what I started and since over here I get paid to go to school instead of having to pay for it, I figured it was really a once in a lifetime thing. Plus, no one can take away my knowledge, I’ll always have that. Right?

Anyway, I have to get ready to go to dinner. I hope that everyone has a great week!

Take care,
Cindy
