Whether the Weather be: A Few Clouds (54F/12C)
Events of Note: Unit 2
In the News: U.S. Senate votes to repeal "Dont ask / Don't tell" military service policy.
* It's that slightly odd, misplaced 'window'-the final weekend prior to Christmas. Were we in New Zealand at the moment, we might find ourselves basking in the glory of some sunshine. Then again, I pause to think of Europe's record cold-snap and can only shudder.
* On today's academic agenda, is some discussion responses, and a minor paper on a case of pancreatic cancer, explained in layperson's terms. The class platform continues to experience technical issues. Online class environments leave little redundancy in the system when the electronic environment falls over.

Events of Note: Kaplan platform was down last night.
In the News: Assange
* Can't believe it's been a whole other Term since I've managed to update this web-log!. My previous Term went reasonably well (everything considered). I did well in both Pharmacology and A&PII. This Term (started Dec. 8th), I'm now taking Diseases of the Human Body and Billing and Insurance (both 200-level courses). Dec. 8th, I went back to Stanford University Medical Center for a continuation of my medical treatment- a rainy trip/appointment/adventure that I was quite contented to have behind me. 11 hours is some commute, especially with full-on Bay Area traffic.
* Kaplan platform was down for a considerable number of hours from approx 4:30pm PST yesterday. Right on time to clash dramatically with end of Unit assignment and Seminar deadlines.
*My/our daughter is with her grandparents, tonight, so I'm using this opportunity to start and finish a # of different projects/agendas happening around the Holidays. Only 10 days until Christmas, which is my absolute favorite holiday of all, although it's celebrated quite differently here than in my native country.
*I'm no longer actively maintaining any of my blogs anywhere else at the moment. At least, not for the time being. Some of my focus has deepened on supervising and participating in my daughter's schooling and education. Beyond that, I'm 'dry' on inspiration, as far as actual, biographical and op-ed writing is concerned. There is only so much to say, and so many different ways of illustrating my life, I guess.
*Found out today that one of my former, undergrad Professors is in very poor health, and now in a wheelchair. Yes, even, and especially academics (and notable ones) wither up and die.
