Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone got what they wanted from Christmas. I’m definitely happy with mine (can’t say the same about Bruce). My Uncle Ed and Auntie Arlene got me a beer bong - amazing.

The War has Begun

Only a few days after finishing finals, I’ve started my crunch-time studying for the MCAT. I’ve got until January 31st…we’ll see how it goes.

It's Time

In other news, my mom might have pneumonia, which would really blow. My dad said she might have bronchitis, which although bad, would be a blessing compared to the alternative.

Finals Dinner

You know it’s finals when….

Spring ‘09 Schedule

Finally got all of my classes. I’d prefer a Monday night Physics lab so I could be with Turgeon, but I can deal with a Monday afternoon lab. I decided to switch from an Econ minor to a Global Health minor, hence why I’m taking my first Anthro class. I’ve been looking forward to this cancer class since freshman year (I mean…it IS what I want to do with my life.) We’ll see how it all pans out.

Anthropology 333 - Disease and Human Behavior
Biology 341 - Evolutionary Biology
Biology 415 - Cancer and Oncogenes
Physics 142 - Intro to Physics II with Lab

Spring '09 schedule

Btw, I’m looking for some new music to get me through finals. Any suggestions?
