So This week we are starting to feel the grip of mini #2 taking hold. Brett did pretty well on his mini#1 and has really been staying steady in preparing for the next one. On monday we will be able to apply for fifth semester and we will be applying for the Michigan program. Saginaw Michigan would be a good option for us for fifth because it is a lot cheaper to live, and really that is the main reason we want to go there. Our other option for fifth semester is Miami which would be way fun! The only thing about Miami is that it is very expensive to live there. We hear great things about both programs and Brett says that he will be fine with which ever one we get into. Michigan only takes 60 students because they are a newer program and are also working with Michigan State Med school. Miami takes many many students so it's pretty common to be sent there. Michigan would be fun on account that we would get to see some snow for a change! I think I can speak for both of us in saying that we have had enough heat and humidity to last quite a while. We apply on Monday and should know which program we get into by the following monday so I will be sure to post about it then. In less than two months we have another move on our hands. But we don't mind. So far we have enjoyed the diferent places and people of the world we've seen and are thankful for the opportunity to experience more while we are able.

hahaha thats so funny!
hey kellie! i was just reading your thoughts on 5th semester...i know that we really like miami so far. the clinical experience has been good for keith, with the exception of one time he was placed in a spanish speaking dr office. but other than that, he has enjoyed it. i don't know much about michigan's program; it is cheaper though. but you can find nice safe places here for a reasonable price. anyways, hope you guys get whichever place you want!
