What is it about having to get real work done that allows us to work on all the useless things in life? I have exams on Monday, so it makes sense to update my blog since I have nothing else pressing. On an interesting note, I mixed some juice with green tea and was wonderfully surprised with the outcome. I also drank a Red Bull when I got into the library, which is probably why I feel wired right now. Caffeine is such a wonderful drug.
I have hit the approximate halfway mark in my basic science studies. Assuming I don't fail any classes (God willing), I'll be off this island by the end of the year. I will reference the cliche about time flying by, but I think it actually did. Not to say that it has been all fun and games, but the busy work did help pass the time. I don't know if I've said this, but the moments when I feel most nostalgic are when I have nothing to do. I think about the free time and how I should be spending it at home.
And now a quick rant on Med Micro: why must we memorize all these bugs? In the real world, we'll send off for labs, so they all present pretty much the same way. I stare at these flashcards for a weekend, take down as much as a I can, regurgitate them onto an exam, and walk away without actually learning any of them. Know the big ones (Staph. aureus, Strep. pyogenes, etc.) and you're good to go. Anything else is a waste of valuable mind space. IMHO.
