The past two days have been really nice. Undoubtedly that is in part because I haven't been working, but mostly it's because I made a conscious effort to focus on my wife and son and did not worry about school for once. I still did the studying (1:15 hour MCAT yesterday, 1:30 MCAT today) but I didn't stress or worry about it, I just did it. I'm going to try to do this for the next five months leading up to the MCAT. I know I have a lot of hard work ahead of me, but I can't let that take me away from my family. I have to fully devote myself to studying for a few hours a day and then let it go and enjoy B and O.
Not only have the first two days of this year contain two good study sessions, but I also finished decorating O's room, made a ginormous grocery run, watched a bunch of football (GO SEC), and most importantly finished restoring O's high chair. This was special because it is the same high chair that first my dad and then I used. Before my dad passed away in late 2006 he had begun stripping the old finish off in hopes that one day my child would use it. Over the past month I completed the preparation, and finally yesterday and today I applied two coats of stain/polyurethane to complete the project. Once its dry I will reattach the hardware and Owen will get to eat in it tomorrow. I'm really excited about it. I thought a lot about dad while working on the chair and I think he would be really proud of how good it looks and relieved that I actually finished it.
Well the Alamo bowl is over, so I'm going to bed. Tomorrow will consist of some physics practice problems and taking notes on half of a general chem chapter in my Kaplan prep book. So far it's been a great 2010.
Goodnight
