Life
Hey dudes!
Figured an update from my LJ wouldn't go amiss. I don't seem to use this thing nearly enough (except for commenting on hilarious things in communities). Also, I have an exam later today, and I've run out of other ways to procrastinate.
Yeah, this week is insane. Exam later today in Mycology (which is fungi, or more specifically fungal pathogens). A whole bunch of lectures on different types of fungi like Candida (yeast infections mostly), Aspergillosis, and Cryptococcus. These are not fun exams because the lectures were full of really stupidly specific things and the exam will certainly test on the most minute details. Biology classes are like that.
Also have a paper due in that same class on Friday. My topic is Blastomyces dermatitidis in canines. Reading lots of papers that talk about dogs dying or being put down... pretty depressing. Didn't take that into account when picking the topic. It doesn't help that I have my Spring Concert on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Did I mention that I haven't started the paper? And that I have two more exams Tuesday and Wednesday next week? Free time is a myth.
In much, much better news, it looks like I'll have an internship this summer. I'm (tentatively) accepted into the Community Health Internship Program in Milwaukee. Tentatively, because they wanted to see if I would indeed be free for all the days of the program and to ask if I'd have a place to live/transportation. Which, you know, I do! So I'll be in Miltown from mid-June to late-July and maybe a little more... make plans, because I want to see people while I'm in town. Summerfest? All my roommates will also be in the Milwaukee area, which will be fun because they're awesome people. For her Kohl's Engineering internship, Carla is staying in the UWM dorms. Exciting!
Also may attempt a super awesome Europe trip with Mom this summer. We're thinking an Eastern Mediterranean cruise. It was to be my graduation present, but since we don't know how busy I'll be next summer and (more importantly) we don't know how well Mom will be feeling next summer, it's gonna have to happen early. She gave me all her high heels the last time I was home. On the one hand (and how I play it out in real life), awesome, because we're the same size and she had some great shoes. On the other, it's because her back gives her so much pain that she can't wear heels anymore, and that terrifies me on a level that I find hard to even begin to deal with. The cancer has essentially liquified some of her vertebrate.
I'm trying to write more, so I think I might start by updating this thing more frequently. Sorry if I attack your friends pages.
