In Which: Comp week!!!!!

It is here--the most dreaded week of the semester!! I know you are thinking that midterms aren't the worst, but this week is even worse than finals. At least after finals, the semester is over. Mid semester comp week is the WORST. It is stressful, and frustrating, and we still have to attend lecture and learn material for the next test. Luckily, I have survived the first three tests: a 3-hour practical exam on Wednesday and the two written tests on Friday. Now I just have to get through the written Parasitology exam, and the lab exam of doom on Wednesday.

So the studying continues!!!

In Which: Fall traditions, and a painful return to reality

Oops! Time sure does fly during the semester. I can't believe it is half over in just a few days! The pressure of tests every Friday seems to shorten the school week. I exist in a blurry whirlwind of lecture slides, labcoats, microscopes, chemical reagents, and notes upon notes upon notes!!

The past couple weeks have been extra busy because...the  Hardwicks came to Park City!! Hooray! Our annual gathering at the Marriott in Park City is one of my favorite weeks of the year. There is great company (immediate family, grandparents, aunties, cousins), great food, hot tubbing, and more! It was so wonderful to get to visit with some of the people I don't get to see very often. Meghan came up from Tempe, my parents down from Washington, grandparents over from Orange County, and the aunties and cousins from Salt Lake City. Scott and I were lucky this year and got to spend a significant amount of time up there because our work and school days both end at 4pm.
