May 19, 2011

Whether the Weather be: 50 (F) Cloudy
Events of Note: Unit 1, May 2011 Term (A Track)
In the News: IMF head resigns following rape charges/allegations.

* I've re-activated this blog now that I'm resuming my Kaplan studies (as of yesterday). This Term, I begin the first of three Clinical Rotation courses: Clinical Competencies 1, together with another elective paper (General Biology 1: Human Perspectives). To that end, since it's shaping up to be quite a demanding Term, in lots of different ways, I thought that it might be useful to re-engage and re-activate this space and resource, as a 'filter' for charting my academic, clinical and personal progress. At the moment, the workload and requirements all look quite daunting, but, I know from past experience (and plenty of it) that it's largely a matter of developing a routine and timetable and following through and sticking with it, come what may. Yesterday was mostly administrative details, like ordering my uniform and clinical kit. Attended my first Bio Seminar, which was fairly 'light and fluffy'-mostly students asking half a hundred, fine-print sorts of questions...My Venitech trainer kit also arrived, however, I'm still waiting on the hard copy of my textbooks to arrive. Once that happens, I'll likely feel a little more settled.

* Was woken by the "Alarm Cat" this morning: a literal and figurative timely reminder that gone are the days that I can simply snooze my early morning away in bed, obliviously, much as I may wish to do otherwise!.

* Our daughter turns 6 on June 6. She wants a "Hello Kitty" party with all of the trimmings. Always something...
