(Grandpa Winter got little Ellie some U of U gear to support her daddy)
Brad started his pharmacy program last week at the University of Utah. Brad kept saying that he felt like a little freshman on a new campus. He didn't know where anything was, and felt like everything was new. It soon became pretty apparent that he didn't have to worry too much. All of his classes are in one building, and he has all of his classes with the same 57 people. Once he started going to class, he said he felt like he was in grade school because everyone in his class just migrated single file to another room in the building for the next class. Ok, not really single file, but no one really knew anyone so they just walked silently through the halls. He found it kind of amusing. He has been taking the Frontrunner train to school, so that has been a new experience too. There are 2 other girls that went to Weber with him that commute from Ogden, so they all sit together. They also discovered midway through the week that another student hops on in Kaysville, so they will have a pretty good study group going to and from school every day. The ride is about a half hour longer than driving, but it is going to be some great study time for him, and he doesn't have to worry about parking, traffic, or weather very much which is a huge bonus in my opinion.
He had his white coat ceremony on Friday afternoon. It made me quite proud to see him receive his coat. He has worked so hard to make it this far, and I know he is very excited at being one step closer to becoming a full fledged pharmacist. We were able to leave Elinor with Grandma Winter so that we could go on a short dinner date after the ceremony which was probably a first since Elinor was born. Hurray for Brad! Only 4 more years to go!
with the glasses-- its like looking at Rob. this is a bit creepy. But we love you guys! Congrats on the white coat :)
ReplyDeleteYay. That is exciting. Tell him good luck. when I was going to grad school at the U I took the front runner. He is very smart to do that. It saved a lot of money and energy and even though it took a little longer everyday, I was able to do homework, read, play on my computer, and sleep. And it was fun. Anyways, your baby is adorable. Good luck with everything
ReplyDeleteEllie would look so much cuter if that dress were blue!!!! Brad looks good in his white coat, though. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCurtis says Ellie needs blue and white pom poms!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Brad!
Congrats on the white coat ceremony! That was one of my favorite days... It's not always easy, and there are days and especially study nights that you will hate. But always remind yourself, it will be worth it!!! The time will fly by...
