Todd and I went to the library to study for tests and catch up on research...but what was much more fun was deciding where we were going to go to school and move to next! (I admit it's a little silly to not study for exams that you will need to do well on in order to get into said schools...but whatever)
I found a great list of schools across the United States that have PhD programs in Art History (because other than Todd and sunshine it is the best thing in life) while Todd made a list of all of his potential schools with Physician Assistant programs. We compiled our lists (consisting basically of the west and east coasts) and highlighted the ones that had both programs!
I could probably be happy anywhere. The Bay Area and San Fran sound good. I could do L.A. probably. Seattle, Portland...Rhode Island, there are a million in NYC. I decided if we went to Idaho (not ideal for living), my family in Wyoming and Todd's in Oregon, we would be right in the middle and traveling to visit would be pretty easy.
I am just so excited. Right now we're thinking about maybe possibly wanting to try for a wee one after I graduate with my Master's in April 2013, moving to a new city where Todd can start his PA program and I can move us in, decorate our little home, nest and relax, take a year or so off from school and if I want (/it will probably be necessary for me) to work I can try teaching Art History at some college until the little one is born.
I can go for walks exploring the city, paint the walls, paint furniture I find for free on craig's list, embroider little onsies, learn to crochet little booties, for once in my life I could actually prepare meals (and maybe be proud of them), our friends and family could come visit. We can find our favorite restaurants and walk around the alive city at night. I just love talking about the future with Todd and all of the exciting things we're going to do. We're going to make fun of how dumb/silly babies are, and teach them how to speak. We're going to explore together and it's going to be oh so fun.
