Must be his third (and final) year

Despite how busy Dave is, this is the least busy he has been since starting dental school. The first two years were full of stress about doing really well so he could into specialty school. Dave was the underdog coming into school, he had never taken a biochem class, he taught himself chemistry, and he hadn't taken anatomy since his freshman year of college (1992!). Needless to say, he is a very hard worker, and he spent many, many, many hours studying so he could accomplish his (our) goal of getting into endo school. His beloved guitar has sat untouched for the last two and half years. When I heard him play the guitar today, I knew things have mellowed out for him. Ahhh, third year-you are so very bittersweet.

Love that third year less-stress time once they're in their specialty program. But oh how we miss those days of dental school! With friends on every side of your apartment, and everyone going through the same thing...school and being young mamas by the ocean. Enjoy those last few months. Life will never be the same as those dental school days.
