Study Break

Not writing much - just some updates. I am in the midst of studying for a pharmacology exam that we have on Tuesday.

This exam was supposed to be last Thursday, but sometimes if the professor feels that we are moving too quickly or the material was not explained clearly enough by a week before test time, they will consider pushing the exam back. In this case, we were not able to finish the material for the exam in time so we moved the exam from Thursday to Tuesday. It is nice that professors are conscious of the amount of time we have to learn such a large volume of material and that they do all they can to make sure you can cram it all in there in time.

After this exam on Tuesday, I have a presentation and paper due on Wednesday. My group in Biostats got picked to go for our end of the semester presentation on the first day available (that day being Wednesday). Our assignment was to write a research study as if you conducted it, minus the results section. The purpose is for us to use what we learned in class about statistics and research. In addition to the paper itself, we have to do a 15 minute presentation to the class about our study. Since we have this big exam on Tuesday, I am thinking Tuesday night will be devoted to presentation practice for this project. Once our presentation is over on Wednesday - I am in the clear until finals. That doesn't really mean much, but I will at least be able to enjoy Thanksgiving break a little bit. We have off from Wednesday the 25th to Friday the 27th for Thanksgiving break. Students who live close enough to home usually head there to have the big meal with their families (which is what I do). However, those that live flying distance away usually get together and have a big meal of their own - so either way, it is a nice holiday.

Ok - study break is over - more updates after this storm has passed.
