Hey Ladies,
Well I''ve been a bit down about this for a few days, so I finally thought I would post to see what you ladies think. So my boyfriend and I just got engaged, and we naturally started talking about wedding dates. Initially, I said that I wanted to have it in one or two years (with 2 years being the preference).
But last week, Icekid pointed out that in two years, I would be taking the US medical liscencing board exams (I live in Canada, and was iffy on if I should, but I''ve pretty much decided that I will.) So 2007 was ruled out. So my boyfriend suggested next year (this was his preference) but my cousin, who is really close to me is Mormon, and on a mission, so he won''t be back by next year. So 2006 was ruled out. So then we said in 3 years, 2008. But then I realized that I will be in the clinical portion of med school. I don''t know how it is in US, but here, we are required to pull a FULL 24 hour shift, once a week, EVERY week. So 2008 was ruled out because there is a two week summer break, and I don''t know when I would plan this thing. OK, so that leaves us with Summer 2009.
Now honestly, I said I didn''t mind waiting, but something about 2009 seems REALLY far off. My boyfriend said we could do it in 2008 and he would plan the whole thing for me. Which well....I''m sure you ladies can figure out why I''m not terribly thrilled with the idea.
I don''t know, it depresses me. I feel like I''ll never have time to plan this thing. I''m not the kind of student that can split my attention. I mean since school started on August 23, I haven''t done anything. No resturant, no movie, haven''t watched a TV show, and I have library books that are a MONTH late. I''m feeling overwhelmed and I can''t imagine how I would even think of planning a wedding. Sorry for the whining ladies, I just don''t know when this is going to get done.
