Finally

So yes Marc has finally found a new job!!! This bad economy has hit recent grads really bad and well Marc is just happy to have found a job that is up by the University so we can ride in together and eat lunch together! He will be working at Primary Children's in the radiology department. He is pretty excited he will be working with medical physics Phd's and intervention radiologists so he will see a lot of what they do. Mostly he will be dealing with patients and scheduling tests? I think...not a 100% sure what he will be doing. I'm really happy for him! He worked really hard trying to find this job and it will be great to see more of each other because our schedules will be very similar. Yeah for good news!

He also met with the Lynn Higgs, who sits on the admissions board at the U to talk with him about his application and the PhD program. Higgs made it sound like Marc was a great candidate...when he applied this Spring they ended up not being able to accept any of the 2nd round of candidates due to budget cuts. So he seems pretty hopeful for this next year. He still is going to have to take the GRE and the Physics GRE he will do both in November. It sounds like if you want to do a medical physics emphasis you do the first two years of course work and then a 3 year residency which counts toward your PhD. The whole thing is up in the air since its so specialized...what will probably end up happening is we will both get our masters at the same time and then we might have to switch to a school (probably back east) that specializes in this for the last 3 years. I really don't want to think that far ahead though! I'm just so happy where we are at for once and I want to enjoy that feeling for awhile...I finally have succumbed to the schoolness.
