Bronze medal in the Geek Olympics

   
Well, I am very proud of my hubby who is the 3rd smartest person in Canada (I am a little biased, but I think he is the smartest anyways). A couple of months ago he qualified for the final of an accounting competition that was all over Canada, which put him in the finals against all the big Universities in Canada. Some of the top Business Universities known world wide for their Business programs were in the finals. He became a hero at the college, and although feeling a lot of pressure to do good at the finals in Toronto, I think he enjoyed it. The college paid for him, his accounting prof, and another student that was in it together with him to the finals. It was a five day competition and they were treated like royalty. Banquets, wine and cheese and the whole package. But, of course, Magnus comes down with the stomach flu the first night there... He never gets sick, and then in this important competition he gets the flu! It might have been food poisoning - it is hard to say though. It is just such a bummer that he didn't get to enjoy all the fancy food, but even more of a bummer that he felt really sick on the day of his competition. But that didn't stop him, and he did really well and him and his buddy came in third over all. Pretty good I would say for only studying at a local college, not even an University! So, as much as I tease him that he won the Geek Olympics, I am super proud of him. He is not one to brag, but I am so I will brag for him.
On the different note, things are going good and we are back into the swing of life. Magnus back at school and I am just hoping we can make it through to the end. I feel a little burnt out of all this schooling and I am not even the one doing it.... I think it is just building up for the past four years, and I am just wanting it over with and to have a "normal" life. We have never experienced that, so maybe I don't want that, but it sounds good. =)
Mika isn't walking these days, but running everywhere... I can't keep up with him anymore. He is a good little boy, but a bit sensitive I am noticing and in this stage where we can't leave him anywhere... it is very annoying, but we will have to deal with it. I am not sure how to deal with a sensitive boy, but I am just praying that I can handle it well. I am not a very sensitive, emotional person, so this might be a challenge for me. I tend to just ignore him, but maybe I should be a little more sensitive to him.
