An Update

Six hours, 1 entire Pilot G2 pen (the best in my opinion) and 30 sheets of notebook paper later, Rob finished his exams and we all breathed a sigh of relief. His hand may be dead and his brain fried, but he is done.

For this part at least. :)

Next comes the oral exams in a few weeks where he can be asked questions about what he wrote and have to give a defense of them in front of three professors. Nervewracking, yes, but at least he knows what topics he wrote about that he will have to defend.

Overall he thinks he did well and most likely passed all three sections. The morning part seemed a little easier than the afternoon, but he thinks he did ok. There were only a few questions he didn't feel as confident about and some he smashed out of the park. Hopefully those will count for more! He won't know how he did for a few weeks, but the hardest part is over.

Whew. This has been a tough few weeks for all of us, this past week especially. I'm glad I was gone for two of the weeks! That was good time for Rob to work. Every semester at this point is hard, but this one was especially difficult and we are both spent. There's a bit more to push through, but Lord willing we will make it. We just go one semester at a time (or at least I do! Rob thinks about the upcoming ones a lot more than me) and we always make it. I suppose nothing could really be as bad as having a baby halfway through the semester and then a major Christmas concert right after that which is what we did in the fall. Still, it's a hard time for us all. But summer is just around the corner and we're always thankful for that time.

I'm also so thankful for all your prayers today! I know Rob is too. It is wonderful to know so many people were praying for him today and I know those prayers are what got him through. We give all glory to God for his mercy and provision over Rob today.
