What a Summer so far!

This summer has been a very busy one so far. It seems weird since I am only working one job right now for me to say that, but I have been doing a great job of keeping myself occupied. I have been spending a lot of time at home doing house work, reading, I even started another swedish weave blanket. I have been picking up more hours at DSW which is really good. I don't know what I would do without that..probably would go crazy! The girls and I have also been taking full advantage of our pool days. I am starting to look pretty good I have to say....well I mean Jason's stopped calling me Casper so that has to mean something right?

Jason has also been off work for the last three weeks. He was at home studying for his Step 2 Boards, which took a very interesting and upsetting turn. Boards are supposed to be an 8 hour test taken all in one day with 8 sections of material to cover. You can taken your lunch break after 4 sections and then you come back to finish the final 4 sections, you also have an optional 15 minute break. Well Jason was doing well he finished his 4 sections early and took his lunch, but when he came back the timer on the system never reset to give him an additional 4 hours, instead it gave him the hour and 15 minutes that he had left over from before lunch. At first Jason was like ok well maybe his roll over time and it will rest itself when time gets closer to running out. So he continued on and when he was in section 6 of 8 his computer told him he has 15 minutes to complete his test. Well, he knew that wasn't right so he raised his had and the proctor came in and said he knew there was a problem with the system but to keep going with the test and see if it resets itself anyway. This did not comfort Jason at all. He was able to answer about 6 or 7 questions and then the timer ran out kicked him off the computer and said his test was over. Apparently this happened all over the country 463 students ended up only getting 4 hours to take their test instead of 8 hours. It was the first time that this had ever happened so no one knew what was going on, if they only had to take 1/2 the test or if they would have to retake the whole thing or only half, when they would be able to reschedule to take it.....it was a mess to say the least. After two days they called Jason and said he had the option to retake the whole test or just half and then he could reschedule for two weeks. Well, Jason felt really good about his first half of his test so he opted to just take half the test and now he takes the second half two weeks from today. Such a mess!!! He was so mad and I didn't know what to say to make him feel better. But now he has moved past it and just going to do the best he can on the second section of his test.

Other than that nothing much going on here. Boards, work, and relaxation. Oh and a planned trip back to SD in August for me! Happy Summer to everyone!
