It has been a great month for us. We have made great progress on the medical school front. Let me briefly explain the process to you. The first step is a primary application. All D.O. schools use the same application service, so you only have to do it once. You give them your pre-med resume, a personal statement (which Derik helped me on), and you send a couple of hundred bucks. If the schools like your first application they send you a secondary application. Basically you write a few more essays, answer a few questions, and send some more money. Then if they like your secondary application they invite you to the school for an interview... at your expense of course. If they like you at the interview then they offer you a spot at their school. Okay now back to my situation: I got secondary applications from all 4 schools I applied to (probably thanks to Derik's input on my essay). I only turned in 2 of the secondaries, and both schools have invited me to fly out and interview. So in about 3 weeks I will be flying out to West Virginia and Missouri. I'll be gone for a week. To be honest I'm a little nervous. I've not flown since my mission. It will be a big, exciting trip for me. I'll have some extra time in each city to look around and get a feel for each place. Maybe by the end of October we'll know where we are headed for school. The Lord has been very generous to us!
In other news we spent Labor Day weekend at Becky's parents' farm. The weather wasn't all that cooperative, so we didn't get to go 4-wheeling or shooting, but we had a wonderful time with her family. We played games, watched movies, teased and chatted. It was a great break from reality.
Becky is working at the fair this week. She gets off work at 5, then leaves for the fair at 5:20. She doesn't get home until around midnight. She's been doing it all week. Luckily her last night is tomorrow night. I don't miss the bachelor life.
Now it's time for the "Don't you wish you were at ISU" moment: One of the books I'm required to read this semester is entitled "Red queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature." The book's author is trying to justify the existence of genders using evolutionary tools. It's not going to be my most useful class, I can tell you that.
We're doing well, and keeping busy. God bless you all!
Stewart and Becky

Stew! I can't believe you writing such scandalous words in your blog... but it might get us some more search hits (j/k).
Good luck at your interviews I know they will love your attitude and if they say no just send them our movie and say this is what you get for saying no to me (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)That will teach them.s
Whenever I have a book like that, I ask my self a simple question: What would Freud do? Now go through the book and try to find all of the authors repressed childhood whatnots. I'm sure that the author is a raging psychotic and doesn't even know it. Give in. Go Feudian. Go hog wild.
WWFD? I'm going to make a new bumper sticker.
Biologists think in odd ways. Here's a little example of biologist thought:
Normal person: There are 2 genders because God made us that way.
Biologist: There can't be a God so I must spend millions of $ and 30 years investigating every other possible explanation.
Biologist #2: Why are there only 2 genders in humans instead of hundreds like in fungi?
