Study Break

So when it is block time, I get so tired of studying. But, I am on an island and I can't really run to taco bell or the ice cream shop so I have to get creative. Today's study breaks. . .           Facebook (ahh. . how many times can you say that life is grand or sucks or you're in the USA and have everything at the tip of your fingers? Rub it in a little.)

New Study Room

Hey check out the new room in the library. Please do not leave your stuff if you are not coming back for hours. We all want to use the space equally so if you are going to eat off campus then do the right thing and leave your stuff in a cubby and let others use your space. Thanks to President Ross and all others who were involved in getting this put together. http://iuonlibrary.blogspot.com/2011/07/library-addition-is-now-open.html Until...

Do you really like to have a paper version of the book ? Do you need to read a textbook to understand the material? For...

A generator??

       Electricity on the island is better than it was when I first arrived last year. It is rarely out and when it is they get it back on in a few hours. Last year they had experienced damage to one of there power generators and they had rolling blackouts every few days for different...

They dress like that in med school???

I haven't posted in a while and I hope to post more often. Medical School is a fulltime job and I love to skype my children when I have a spare moment (read in the morning before classes and at night when I am having a study break). But yesterday I decided that I needed to post more often because hopefully...
