Decels and the Weekend

Posted By Carsten On 27th August 2004 @ 19:32 In Medical School, Life in Grenada | No Comments

So the January class must really be the dumber class. We have had so many decels (people dropping classes, and taking a semester longer to complete the program) that our class size is now smaller than the 4th term class size. (We started out bigger.) So as of Monday, we will be in the Bourne Hall, which has fewer seats than the Bell Hall, our current home. Bourne is a nice hall, has the same amenities, except that you are closer to the lecturer without the benefit of stadium seating, and there are more comfortable chairs with actual backrest padding. (Making it easier to fall asleep, see previous point on being up-close-and-personal with the lecturer.) :???: It'll actually be complete chaos on Monday, as no one has their "usual" seat anymore, and everyone will be running around trying to 1) sit near their friends and 2) sit as far away from the lecturer as possible, while still having a good view of the screens. It should be interesting.

Well it is the weekend now, and I already have it booked out. The Immunology text book has not come in yet — evidently it was delivered to Grenada, Spain! :evil: So the professor handed out photocopies of Chapters 2 and 3… and then when the book still wasn't in, made 150 copies of Chapter 4. There are 290 people in our class, so I wasn't one of the lucky ones to get one. Well, I borrowed a copy of the book from someone who took the class last term, and I have already finished a chapter today… :smile: Only two more to go this weekend. :sad: Of course, I decided to rent a few videos from the DVD store to help me in my studying mission. Or maybe it was the fact that I wanted to watch something, as my cable has not been hooked up yet. I have made a couple of different appointments, but they either don't show up or show up at completely the wrong time. :evil: Like today, where I told them I wouldn't be home after 10:30am, but I get a voicemail on my phone at 8:30am, angrily asking where I am. Like I told the scheduling person, class. Then when I call back at 10:30 am, I hear kids screaming in the background. Must be nice to be home of not-even two hours of work. The work ethic of some people. :evil:
Anyways, gonna relax with a pizza (which I just ordered) and beer(s) tonight, then tomorrow morning it's diving Nitrox (hopefully) on the Bianca C, and then Shark Reef. :grin: If I make it back, then some self-study and study groups. Repeat for Sunday.

Well, gg pick up that pizza. :grin:
