Snacks and a movie!!!

By Dinah Dafeamekpor
Maternal and Child Health

I cant say that my break was too interesting but I did survive two accidents, a bitter winter, studying and having to work through the break. Now school has started and Im back on my grind.
I have 5 months to defend my thesis, finish my coursework, find a job and apply for medical school. If you think that sounds overwhelming, it is probably because it is!
My social life has pretty much gone down the drain and I am clocking in alot of hours doing job app, work and studying stuff. But looking on the bright side... it will all be over soon. The question I keep asking myself is "then what?"

Now since I dont have any special premonition powers, I suppose we will just have to stick to what I do know.
I am planning a discussion about diversity for next Wednesday, the 28th.
I will be screening the 2004 Oscar-award winning film, Crash and the discussion will follow soon after. This is my way of introducing students to the new technological and aesthetic updates in the student SPHere lounge(of which I have been actively involved for a year now and am ABSOLUTELY proud of) and to encourage community among the SPH faculty, staff and students. The event begins at 4:30 p.m. in the student SPHere and I will be providing snacks... I wont get too fancy, but lets just say, you SHOULD come if not for the food, for the community!
I will post pictures soon after, but I am really looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Here's to a great semester for everyone! And if you are planning on applying to the School of Public health or have already applied, great CHOICE and good luck!
