Sitting Here in Limbo

My little sister, B, is celebrating her 24th birthday on Saturday. We are going to Chifa for some comidas latinas, and Matt and I are very excited. However, as of today, we are not only celebrating her birthday. It seems B got herself a job as a research coordinator in a certain Urology department. This should be incredibly fun! I am hoping that we'll be able to do some interesting work together. But, wait, there's more. Little B has applied to the Penn post-baccalaureate program to complete her pre-requisites before doing the Penn NP program. I am beside myself. How amazing to have two NPs in one family. I would love to work together, we could be such a force, and I know she wants to do psych and behavior change therapy which is so important in female (and male) urology. I feel extraordinarily torn between feeling excited about the FS life and feeling excited about what could be if I stayed here. I am trying to really compartmentalize today. We have 15 more wake ups and a duffel bag drag and I do want to enjoy these two weeks. If Matt doesn't pass this time, we have already decided that we'll try again. And, I'll remain in limbo, but will definitely enjoy doing female urology with B and A!

Mom and A will be here bright and early for our WMW (Wednesday Morning Walk) so it is time for me to turn in. What an exciting day for B, we have so much to celebrate at Chifa.
