I'm getting a headache trying to put together this conceptual framework stuff. Mainly because my cell, "Water", is so ridiculously broad that I've already had to call my TA to ask her which part of it I should address. At least something like "Worms" is nice and specific and specific interventions are easy to identify.

The week is over. Thank God. If there wasn't a BIOS midterm next week, I'd skip class all together tomorrow.

VDC was interesting, statistics on MSM sex practices regarding HIV were appalling, HIV vaccine progress somewhat uplifting.

EPI midterm not too bad.

Some time vegging is necessary.

First day of class is today, in 7.5 hours (8-8:30 is "light refreshments"). I'm not quite sure what to expect, so let's just hope that having done the reading, packed a notebook, and will be packing the laptop will be enough ( Read more... )

So for the longest time, I didn't have an RSPH e-mail account. I bugged them forever, and my counselor told me I should already have one, but I still couldn't log in. Then I reread a mailing Student Services had put out, and it talked about password syncing. I already had an account name from when I applied for undergrad and I had reset that ( Read more... )

So I knew that grad school was intense, but I never expected it to be this intense. Last week, we received an e-mail concerining Orientation. Among our three-day spiel, a full day is spent at the CDC. How freakin' cool is that? Unforunately, there's also required reading to be completed before then. Who assigns reading for ORIENTATION?!
