Sep. 28th, 2014 06:19 pmI am still quite in love with being a student again. I enjoy the challenges - there is no easy way out this time around, unlike my time at UK. SPHIS requires work, and a lot of it, and it is stimulating. I'm pretty lucky in that I've found a good group of fellow students to study and work with. I'd have a much harder time of this without them.
Took The Niece to Liberty Friday night - Apple Festival time, and she does love it. D rode with me, gods love her, and she made the drive back to Louisville much better than it would have otherwise been. Some frustration with linking up with Mom to drop off The Niece, but shikata ga nai. I did what I do. I handled it. Hoping to see Mom&Dad later this evening when they bring her back to Louisville, but I/we may be deep into studying and homework by the time they get into town.
I'm still unable to really study at the house. Still haven't got a new desk, can't spread materials out on the couch/coffee table, and I hate trying to study in bed, because it muddies up some mental borders. There is no shortage of places on campus to use, of course, and today I've deployed to the Student Activities Center - I prefer studying here to the library, since I can take the occasional mental break and watch trains pass by - and there are very few people here on weekends.
On the other hand, the coffee shop in Ekstrom is supplied and operated by Heine Brothers, and that's a fantastic draw.
Busy week coming up. Debate in 440 tomorrow evening, then an exam review in 301, and a SPHIS event until 10PM. BIOL372 exam on Tuesday. 301 exam on Wednesday (and that thing has me worried). Fall break is next week, so there's a bit of a reprieve. Maybe going to Liberty for the (extra) long weekend, unless there's a surprise workload or something. Need to mow and fix a plumbing problem, too, sometime.
Cardinal football won against Wake Forest yesterday, and today is the end of the 2014 MLB season. My Dodgers won the division and will take on St. Louis on Friday. My 440 instructor is a big STL fan, so I expect some gentle ribbing on both our parts come Monday.
Better get back to Biostatistics.
