We had been warned by our friends to set aside this money because it's not counted into our student loans. We just put the idea on the back burner. We wish we hadn't now. I'm now passing this lovely bit of information on to all you second years: set this money aside when you get your money! DO IT!! And yes! I am shouting!!
Ask me how much it was. Go ahead. Do it. It was 1700 dollars. 1700 bones. Yes. That is a 17 with two zeros following the 17 part. One thousand seven hundred dollars.
I feel like I've been violated in some way.
All I can say is this doctor thing better be worth it. My heck. $1700?
Probably the most important thing I've learned from this whole med school experience is to party. And there is ALWAYS a reason to party. There's birthdays, holidays and so much more.
Super Bowl is a tradition in my family. I don't remember, ever, not celebrating Super Bowl. My family mostly watched it for the commercials. Anyone remember the Budweiser Frogs? Best commercials of all time!
Anyway, we would get together with friends and sit around the television chowing down on hot wings and other crap. Good times I tell ya.
Mav comes from a sports family. They watch the game. And the commercials. They actually watch the whole season and do a fantasy league. Did I mention I was second this year? Yup, the first loser. All of us get to hear Mav's old man brag about it for a whole year.
So what happens when you put Mav and I together? You get one heck of a Super Bowl party.
When we moved to St Louis, we started a tradition for a lot of our new friends. Some of them knew of football and a few weren't even sure when Super Bowl was but none of them had been to a Super Bowl party.
Our party rocks. You'd be surprised how many friends you make when you put together food and football. In years past, we've had probably 20 adults in our home. This year there was 13. It's a new tradition for a lot of our friends now.
My advice, find every good reason to have a party. And don't forget the food. Good food is a must.
