I'm cheating my way through dental school

Most wives have to endure four years of dental school, followed by an additional one to four years of a residency, after they already survived a few years of undergrad together, too. Good grief. Does the schooling ever end?

The road to becoming a DDS, DMD, MDS and the like can be rough, and seem never ending, right?

We're only in our third year, but already, it seems like graduation is light years away. That's probably why I didn't get married at 18, I need to live a little first, before I could even consider helping put a husband through school. Wise move on my part, if you ask me.

I've decided I totally beat the system, and took the fast track. The trick to getting through dental school faster than most is to marry your soon to be doctor after he's already completed a year or two of those brutal teeth pulling years, trapped behind bars in what they assure you is a dental school, not a prison. What should be four years magically become two or three. It's brilliant. Pure brilliance. 

Did you take the fast track? Or have you been in it for the long haul?
