Me too. Sending many prayers your way dear friend. I dread all the highs and lows of the tests. Those are nerve wracking.

Yes, we had a great weekend. We spent time at my husbands parents and just went out together. Haven't had the time last year for mini vacations because my husband was finishing his senior year at uni.

He's an RN and works on the Coranary Care Unit. He's had training in Pedes though too. Depending on what happens with his loans, we may end up moving to another hospital. There is a government subsidy that pays 80 percent of my husbands nursing education depending on need. He sent the application and should be hearing between July and Sept. I'm SO nervous! That would bring his 60k bill down to 20k (MUCH more affordable and in reach to pay off).

Our friends graduated from college and found they were pregnant with twins. They have had to keep putting their loans in foreberance. Interest is AWFUL that way. I can't imagine what they'll have to pay. It's amazing how society says college educations are imparative to have, yet for most college students who have to pay their own way, once they graduate MANY (aside from computers and medical and a few other career choices) don't end up working in the field they majored in and make MUCH less than they thought. In the meantime their loaded with thousands in loan repayments that will be due 6 months from graduation which will be around 500.00 or more for those graduating with bachelors...MORE if they continued on and have other loans on hold until they met their degree.

What a scarey thought that is for some students. I'm grateful my husband got in the field he did. He can basically work anywhere and choice which area of the nursing field to work. It certainly helps during economic issues like this. There is HUGE need for nurses right now.

Pharm. Tech. Interesting field. My husband was actually going to be a pharmacist, but found he was too old for that field. At least when he planned to go back to school for it. Kids were competing for admintance to the schools and he knew he didn't have a chance so decided nursing may be better.

Keep me posted on your progress when you find out. How are your moods on Gonal F?
