Well, what has happened since the last time I blogged?
1) I completed training for Common Ground (the university coffee house) and my first shift begins this Thursday! I get to make everything from sandwiches to smoothies. I will be sure to share what secrets I learn there with all of you.
2) I realize that my floor may not need me as much as I had hoped. But there is a good and bad side to this. Sure, I feel less loved, but I guess it is less of a time commitment than it would be otherwise. It is just disappointing because during training I was made to expect homesickness, roommate conflicts and scared first years- but all I have gotten so far is a messy common room after a food fight that erupted because everyone was gaily and merrily celebrating a resident's birthday...sigh...they are just too happy!
3) I am struggling with what courses I should take this semester. Should I challenge myself or go with what is safe and perhaps easy? So far, my plan is to attend all lectures in the first week and we will see how I feel afterwards. I will tell you what I decide next week. The three courses are biomedical ethics (hard), business french (middle/hard) and french grammar (easy). The tough part is I can only pick one out of the three.
4) My honours project is on the go! Its title is, "Validation and implementation of immunocytochemical localization of estrogen receptor-alpha in the parental brain of the hamster Phodopus cambelli" Confused? So am I.
5) I think that is all for now- sheesh- life goes by fast. I am also looking at applying for grad school next year. It is a scary thought because I have to choose professors and things soon, as scholarships and the like are due within the next two months. And let's not even get me started on med school applications!
Wish me luck! Boy do I feel in over my head sometimes!
