34 days till *that* day when we meet again.

On my SO's end there is the craziness of filing his resignation and arranging matters for his return home. It's a relief for him to finally have a deadline for his stay overseas.

However here at home, I've had to deal with the damper that's my mother's less than enthused reaction about my SO coming home. She's afraid he will distract me from my reviews for the physician's licensure. I've vowed not to let that happen, and my SO has told me that he will definitely stay out of my way on my review days and be on hand on my 'break' days---but he will keep the line open if I want to vent. It's comforting to hear that from him, really.

The pressure is building about the exam, and to be honest I can't tell people around me to just give me a break and let me work. All I hear is "Well you're not the first one to undergo the exam" or "If ____ can do well, so can you!" or "You're gonna top the exam, right? Your cousins did."

I am glad my SO is not in the medical field. Inasmuch as people say that doctors date doctors since 'they understand each other', I really prefer someone who sees the woman beyond the white coat.
