JP's "book"

I am super proud of JP because he recently got his "book" finished.  Ok, its not actually a book, but it looks like one to me.  Its his research proposal/plan/information paper, but its something like 40-50 pages and its bound together like a book.  He has been working on this for a long time and honestly, I don't even understand everything in there.  Now it needs to get approved and then he will be spending another month at the hospital where he did an internship last September - October.  After that he has to write another big paper/book with this findings and whatnot, and then that needs to be formally presented before he can be really finished with his schooling.  I am really hoping all of this will be completed by August, because we are hoping to start our trip to the states in September.  It is very difficult to plan things when there are issues like 3-week school strikes that come up.  JP did start classes again this week thankfully.  Just in case you're wondering what his schooling is for:  He already had a 3-year gov't licensed nursing degree, and now he is in a 2-year Public Health program.  This would be like a master's program in the states.  When he is finished, his diploma or certificate will say "physician's assistant" so that sounds impressive, right?  :)
