Take Home Exam

Still excited for the new member of the family.  I'm waiting on more pictures of little Isra and I can't wait to get back to California to see her.

Looks like we'll be getting a take home exam for biostats.  I never thought I'd see one of those again, but I guess they're pretty motivated to get everyone through this class.  I don't want to be a heartless jerk, but how did people fail this one-unit course?  Unless you absolutely neglected the entire four weeks worth of notes, there should be no reason for having to do it over again.

I know I mentioned that physio was like my old engineering courses, but wow they really are hitting up the concepts that are right up my alley.  Today, we talked about forced and muscle velocities.  It's interesting to take concepts of physics and apply them to the human body.

We had our dodgeball tournament over the weekend.  Out of 12 teams, We Aim For The Fat One (WAFTFO) took 3rd place.  That was a pretty good showing considering how stacked some of the teams were.  After watching a couple of games, I noticed that it was not the strongest throwing teams that won consistently.  Those teams who had good catchers were the teams that one.  Hitting someone knocks them out, but catching an opponents throw knocks them out AND brings a teammate back.  There were a couple of scenarios where our team was outnumbered 3-to-1, but managed to make it back into the game and won, thanks to a couple of great catches.  The tournament brought out everyone's inner child and the crowd was really into it, following along with their Ohs and Ahs.
