It’s my first Father’s Day and I’m alone. I’m not doing anything socially (although I did help some friends study physiology and histology yesterday for their make-up exams this coming week), but really, I just feel like being a total couch potato. It’s depressing to reach this milestone and spend it alone, but I’ll be back stateside in five days. It kills me that I have to be here for a formality to make up a general pathology exam that I got at least a B on because of our administration’s screw-up, which is now preventing me from seeing my family and being with them today.

I’ll be fine. I talked to my dad and my father-in-law. Claudia decided to take baby to her dad’s and spend at least a couple of days over there, so that’s good–she’s been with my parents for some time and it will be good for a change of pace, but w/o a computer there (he’s elderly), ease of communication is harder. I also didn’t get a chance to webchat with them before they left.

I was promised we’d celebrate Father’s Day belatedly (and of course, my arrival in general) on Friday. I’m very much looking forward to that and finally being back together with my girls.
