doing great on undergrad exams...

-
so, I would like to preface this by reminding you that this is my second M.Sc. Indeed, apparently, I cannot stop going to school. apparently, I like the anxiety, and possibly the challenge or the stress.



on the other hand, maybe i like to learn. learning is fun. despite the fact, that more often than not....
[learning. is. hard.]
[both in life. and. school]

so, on that note, i write to say that I have just completed my second mid-term exam. well, really my first *big* one. and, it was pharmacology. if you don't know what that is. well, don't bother learning it. it is really not important. but, it is a science, in the biological realm. it is hard. it has a lot of information, and apparently, a big class.

i haven't been in a big class for years. and, it has also been years that I have had to write an exam like that. so, with a weekend of anti-social behaviour, lots of caffiene, and a little word to the one upstairs, I went in knowing I had done all I could.

and, i came out thinking "Really!?!? reallllly?! i never knew that true and false questions could be formatted like that! " unbelieveable. it was hard. hard enough that i had flashbacks of my most recent MCAT writing. but, it didn't quite make me want to cry like the mcat, so, in reality, i don't really know how I did. I guess we will see.


sigh. I am just glad it is over.
the other thing,
though,
is that i don't want to "just pass." I want to.
do.
well.
maybe.
even
better
than *well*.
maybe
I want
to do
great.

maybe next time?!?

Syracuse 70.3 race report

-
so, let's just start with a comment that I think this sport is hilarious . the things we do (and, read on, you will get some in this report) are ridiculous. Not only because we think that waking up at 4:30 am to go and get your exercise on for 5+ hours straight is fun, but we do things that in normal society would be considered completely inappropriate and people would wonder if you need a psych consult. i find it hilarious the pre-race rituals we have. the need to wear a "i've done an ironman" shirt to race check-in, rather than normal street clothes. the carting around of a gallon water bottle day before a race. the food we eat, and the abnormal sleep schedules we keep. hilarious. pre-race prep was pretty normal. I got to syracuse at about 6pm on friday, and meet Kelly Covert , her husband (also kelly covert!) and boys Noah and Ryan. It was a fantastic place to stay, and we indeed, talked! it was great :) after a solid sleep on friday night, I was able t

So, I have recently made a vow that I would never again write a race report on the same day as a race.  Well, that has been nixed for this race.  and, I guess the reason is because... I  know  it is going to be a race report that has no potential to be anything but good :)

Nursing: Graduation and Jobs!

It is pretty amazing to think about the last few years of my life... in many ways.  I remember the day that I wrote the MCAT in the Fall of 2008, and knew on that day that my life would not be aimed towards becoming a physician.  I was a bit lost, because that is what I had thought I wanted to do for many many years.  I knew that, but, I also knew what I was passionate about:  the physical body and health care, helping people, community, and (well... africa).  The thing that I thought about being doctor, was the extreme amount of "influence" that they can have on people.... Life changing.  But, I also forgot about all the other professions that can be equally influential. through a journey that I don't necessarily need to outline again, I found nursing. And, boy, am I ever glad that I did.  Nursing has changed by life, my perspective, and makes me exceptionally excited about the career that I have ahead of me.   The last three years at McGill, in the direct-entry progra
