October 23, 2010.

Whether the Weather be: 60 F) Rain (1st storm of Winter predicted)
In the News: Cholera outbreak in Haiiti
Events of Note: Unit 5-A&PII Seminar 10/24 4pm EST (note change of day/time).

* Rain is here. First significant rain of this Summer/Fall-up to seven inches predicted over this weekend-but I'm picking between two and four, instead. Since I completed my Unit 5 assignment for Pharmacology ahead of time, and had it graded immediately (and scored full marks), I'm having an easier unit this week. Which is just as well, because A&PII this week has two course sections combined together into the one unit. I'm bored with A&PII, which is not a good sign. I found myself having to seriously twist my own tail to do my DB initial response this week. Granted, I still have some health issues bothering me in the background, but even so....This time last weekend, I was in the ER of the local hospital, being pumped full of opiate pain relief via I.V.

October 14, 2010

...it's been a while .... In Unit 4, already!

* I'm not having a wholly bad Term, so far. Continuing on with the same routine for Kaplan, in spite of the Seasonal shift has been a little squiffy. On an upside, really enjoying Pharmacology, and am a little disappointed that it's only ten weeks, frankly.

* Taking it easy, today. I have a medical appointment at 5:45pm, tonight. Something that couldn't be left to become worse over the weekend, basically. My clinic was backed up, so I really had to do all kinds of begging to even be seen, today. The key is to physically show up, and that way, you are less likely to be overlooked.
