How to: Survive being married to a professional student

It's not tricky really - you have have to keep the end goal in mind... and a least you're not the one actually doing the school work.


As most of you know my husband has been in dental school the last 4 years (And yes, I take credit for the 2.25 years that we were only dating) and is currently at the beginning of 3 years of Orthodontic school, which means I have and will have a lot of time to myself.  (There's only so much studying you can help with when you only understand half of what he's talking about.) Therefore, I have found a fool proof way of entertaining myself to survive the loneliness. 


1. Find a hobby
    Currently in the market for a new one myself... Crochet, Needle point, actually
    scrapbooking all the pictures I take?  We'll see.
2. Read a multiple books. 
     I highly recommend "The Help" and "Alice I Have Been" Plus anything that comes in a
     series... it's just easier to decide what to read next.
3. Get a dog
     As you can tell my the puppies have provided endless hours of entertainment for me.
     (You think teaching them to roll was easy?)
4. Watch an endless amount of chick-flicks
     Because you can without whining and you know you want to!
5. Take a nap
     Admit it you're tired when you get home from work.

So there you have it... 5 simple steps to leave your husband alone while he studies. Good luck!
