Finals, Finally!

Finals in med school are not like finals anywhere else.  You study your pants off for two weeks straight, breaking only to eat, sleep or change your contacts to glasses.  No mercy.  And then, the tests are the hardest yet! And the longest!

Luckily, the finals finished yesterday at 3:30, and since then, Phil has been detoxing.  He didn't think he would go through withdrawals, but he keeps saying, "I'm bored. I feel like I should be doing something."  He watched ESPN for awhile, but even that couldn't hold his attention for too long! Gabe enjoyed it though.

Tonight, we celebrated by going to Colton's Steakhouse.  It's a Texas Roadhouse-esque, peanut shells-on-the-floor type of establishment.  I had a gift card and we thought it would be a good time to use it.  It was pretty good.  Phil liked his steak and his fried okra (which he hasn't had since the mission), but my salad was only so-so.  Gabe loved it!  I swear, he ate half of the mozzarella sticks himself!  And, there was a little girl sitting behind him who kept stealing his attention away.

Anyways, it's good to have Phil all to ourselves for the next week!
