This week, amidst final exams, I faced the unexpected task of fixing a leaking hose bib at home. Balancing academic demands with practical challenges tested my time management and problem-solving skills. From acing exams to navigating DIY plumbing, each accomplishment brought a sense of satisfaction and growth. Prioritization was crucial in handling both academic deadlines and home repairs, highlighting the importance of resilience and resourcefulness. This experience reinforced my confidence in overcoming diverse challenges, marking a week of intense learning and achievement.

This past weekend was a whirlwind of medieval delights as my wife and I, along with our friends Chad, Katie, and Hunter, ventured to the White Hart Renaissance Faire. Donning our finest period costumes, we immersed ourselves in a world of armored combat, wandering minstrels, and artisans selling their crafts. The highlight of our day was being knighted in a grand ceremony, complete with cheers and applause from the crowd. As we strolled through the bustling marketplace, we couldn't resist indulging in savory turkey legs. The faire provided a nostalgic escape into history, filled with laughter, camaraderie, and unforgettable memories with cherished friends.

This week was super busy. My wife had surgery to implant a port catheter so that she can easier receive fluids and transfusions. She has POTS which causes her to feint several times a day. The best treatment she has found is a steady supply of intravenous fluids about once a week. Sometimes she needs to get iron infusions as well because of her anemia.

Thank you for reading my blog. I am excited to share what I have been up to every week. I will strive to update my blog no later than Sunday of each week so that you can read about my whole week.
