Life is really quite unexciting these days. I need to study a lot and I just don't feel like it wants to stick. The fact that the undergrads are in their last week of school is making me want summer to come for us too! But alas, we still have six weeks and ten exams to go (three of the weekends have two exams, including this weekend).
Today I spent catching up on lecture from when I was studying for last weekend's quiz, and then I spent my time studying drugs. I also somehow wasted a bunch more time. The drug info is coming along, but my biggest problem is remembering which bugs they work on, especially since there is overlap you you can't really rule out like I am used to. Hopefully I get it together and remember this stuff because I want to do well in the sequence!
Besides studying I got all of my documents together for my Ugandan visa and sent it off to DC this afternoon. I had to send in the application (which I am praying is all filled out acceptably), two photos which I took myself in my dining room against the white wall with the camera self timer and cropped (it actually worked great and saved me the ridiculous amount of money people charge for passport photos), proof of yellow fever vaccination, and a $50 money order since the embassy doesn't accept personal checks. Its amazing how frightening it is to put your passport in the mail. If I didn't have any stamps or visas to loose I don't think I would be nearly as nervous, but I sent it express overnight and included signature conformation, so it should be safe. Hopefully I will have it back the week after next with a fresh new visa inside, and oh how I love new visas and stamps!
In other news I am now halfway done with my typhoid oral vaccine. Its probably a good thing, because it forces me to stop eating after dinner because I can't eat for two hours before the dose or for an hour after, and I'm a bad study snacker.
I think I'm starting to get a little loopy and I'm going to head to bed. I just looked and next weeks schedule and freaked out that I had missed more class than I thought last week and that I had to watch more lectures, but I was just looking at the calendar wrong. Minor panic attack number two of the dayt after mailing away my passport. Silly, silly, silly. Goodnight!
