So last night was DH's department graduation dinner. Three residents are graduating along with a foreign fellow. The FF was from Berlin and was a great guy, we're sad to see him go. He was always very nice to talk to at functions and DH loved working with him. Of the other three I knew two of the wives pretty well and it will be sad to see them go as well. Two of them are moving to different areas of Texas and the third is doing a fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic. Its hard to believe that DH has finished 4 years and will start his research years on Monday.

This year's dinner wasn't as much fun as far as the program went. I'll admit I was a little pissed that DH didn't get a little more recognition for his board scores, in the past they've made a big deal about good scores. This year DH and one of his colleagues had two of the highest scores in the country and instead of recognizing them, they got a brief mention, they went on and on about how 2 of the underclassmen who weren't even taking it for credit technically passed though they weren't near the "Mayo" pass mark. :huh: They also usually give funny resident awards, they didn't give them this year. I guess there wasn't enough laughter about them last year, WTF? :huh: Then at the very end of the night one of the 6th year residents roasted the chairman, this year was his 20th anniversary at the clinic so the resident and the chair's wife put together a lot of very embarrassing pictures, it was very funny but I'm not sure the chairman thought so. I don't know, it just wasn't as much fun as it usually was.

Adele spent the evening with my former boss and her daughter again. They had a great time, she fell asleep about 9:45 which was about 15 minutes before I got there to pick her up. She was SO tired that she didn't wake up when I put her in the car seat. When I took her out of the car seat at home and put her in the crib she opened her eyes, let out a big smile, and went fast to sleep. I thought for sure that she'd wake up in the night last night but she didn't, of course she was up at 5:30. Oh well.

DH's parents get here tomorrow around 5 so we'll see how the weekend goes...
