I am taking a pole. When you think of the term 'cornhole', what do you think it means? What is your very first impression ( Read more... )

Ok, it has been awhile. I am now in Fort Wayne, IN and, after the military obstacle course that was the paperwork for my clinical site, everything is in place for me to start at my clinical site on Monday. I am somewhat apprehensive and not as excited as I hoped to be, but I think the excitement will mount as Monday nears. (It was hard to get ( Read more... )

I am supposed to be studying testicular tumors right now. I have a quiz is roughly 2 hours. I am having trouble bringing myself to care that much. I had 2 quizzes yesterday, a quiz on Monday, and 2 giant midterms this coming Monday, another on Wednesday and a quiz next Thursday ( Read more... )

At this point, I have really just had enough. The end of the semester was brutal, but that is to be expected. The part that bothers me the most is that I probably did pretty badly on a final exam because the picture quality was so blurry, that I couldn't tell what they were or how far things had invaded. I heard the same thing from classmates, but ( Read more... )

January 19th, 2010 will go down as a day of disappointment for both me and the Western World. I'll admit it freely. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. I am a bit burned out from study all long weekend and the prospect of 2 weeks of marathon quizzes and exams did not make me happier. But the day only got more frustrating. My entire ( Read more... )

That's right, it's Vick Vaporrub! Granted, you don't drink or eat it, you sniff it, but, really, it has no calories, zero grams fat, not cholesterol and is very, very low in sodium. Perfect for diets! Especially after that turkey day binge. And with new lemon scent, it is just tolerable enough not to rip out your olfactory bulbs ( Read more... )

I have survived my first 2 quarters of grad school, which means I am technically 1/2 way through the classroom portion of school. This is damn good because I don't think I could handle more than a year of classes in this place. There are a few good teachers, but, by and large, the instruction is abysmal. This especially applies to my pathology ( Read more... )

So I have survived midterms. All in all ok. Didn't do as well as I would have liked in Pathology, but the grade is still respectable. At the last minutes I invited myself to a drag queen show in Chicago tomorrow night. We'll see how it goes. It seems like it should be fun. I have been really bad at being social lately and nobody invites me to stuff ( Read more... )

I have survived my first week of the new quarter, but just barely it feels like. Classes have not really gotten into full swing yet, but my pathology course is close to incomprehensible. They want us to do a lot of self-directed learning, which is ok by me, but I do need a little bit of guidance. Alphabetically word lists and unexplained histology ( Read more... )
