Student SPHere 2008-09

Coming back from Thanksgiving break is rough. Very rough.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I got two days off to head Up North for family and turkey and relaxation. It was a much needed break. But getting back into the groove of things -- especially when you know the semester is aaalmost over -- has not been fun.

The good news is that I don't have much left of my first semester of grad school! I can't believe how fast it's gone so far and that the bulk of the work is over. I definitely expected the home stretch and finals to be worse, but I think I did my share of suffering just after midterms.

So, in the just-over-a-week left of classes and less-than-a-week of finals, I have to:

- Do one biostats homework and take my biostats final.
- Do one epi lab and take the epi final (eek).
- Do a (short?! please!) take-home final for community health theory and practice.
- Get some paperwork done for my Star Tribune practicum in the spring.
- Run the Reindeer Run on Saturday!
- Go to the All-School Winter Reception, classes-are-over night out at the Shout House and find some other fun things to do to knock out any stress that might pop up. :)
