The Third Degree


Study Buddies

I spent five hours in the library today. I studied for one class, wrote a paper for another class, and ate some carrots and grapes and tomatoes. Yesterday I worked at the Farmer’s Market selling nuts and had a good ‘ol time. Then I saw SATC with Shannon and had another good ‘ol time.

I am still seeking suggestions for a blog name for my USC blog. I had one, then chose to delete it. I need something simple for my mama to remember and still kinda witty and funny. Got a suggestion? I’ll give you a shout out if you even suggest something. Seriously. I have no mojo to write so maybe this will give me some writing urges as well.

I still also haven’t written about Wild Horse Canyon. Sorry. It was good … I am in a bit of a different place because of it.

I have three finals this week. Monday and Tuesday and Thursday. I work Monday and Wednesday and Friday and so I’m a bit stressed about getting everything taken care of. That’s why I wrote an entire 11 page paper today in two sittings. At least it’s done.

Jamie and I figured out that I need to get a 53% on my HPPP final tomorrow to get an A in the class. How lame is that? I can’t skip it, because I actually need those 3% points, but totally silly. I’ll end up essentially acing the class.

On Tuesday morning I have a global health presentation on Central America. We have 20 minutes, five people (four of us talking) and have somehow ended up with 36 slides. We also cut 16 of them on Thursday. I don’t know how we’re going to get this fixed. That’s what tomorrow’s meeting is for. The 11-page paper I wrote today is due on Tuesday for this class. This was probably the worst class I’ve ever taken at PSU. There is an entire entry in my head dedicated to this class.

On Thursday I have my epi final. I work until 3pm on Wednesday but then will spend the next 12 hours cramming my brain full of study design information. I can do this. I really really really want to get an A in this class, and I might have to “settle” for a B. I’m already in graduate school though so I shouldn’t complain.

Keith and the Girl is still really entertaining. I haven’t talked much about them lately, but if you’ve never heard of them, check ‘em out. Their podcast is freakin’ hilarious and even after days like today, it manages to make me laugh.

I think that’s it.

This pointless entry was brought to you by friend* brain (can be purchased through Global Health, PHE 444).

*this was actually what I typed and then posted. Mommy Is Moody pointed it out to me. Talk about fried brain!

I had to take a physiology class before starting grad school. The problem was that I had a biology degree and couldn’t find a course during the summer that wasn’t for non-majors. On the first day the professor had us fill out papers about our science background and then asked me if I was SURE I wanted that class because I was going to be bored. I had no choice.

I didn’t miss any points at all. I had an endoscopy done one day and missed a test. The teacher figured it up and told me not to make it up, I’d still get an A. I also got to help with labs because I’d done most of them at some point along the way.

Considering I never had any gift with that kind of subject matter (I had much more of an environmental concentration) I still find this rather amazing.

God bless with the finals!
