Mr.P's Semester Roundup

[Mr_Pleasington]

Well, another one down folks.  By all reports I just finished the toughest semester of optometry school.  It's all downhill from here.  Especially next year, which is just externships.

I managed to do a lot better than I thought I would this semester.  I'm especially proud of an A I got in Clinic, something that is hard to get and that means the doctors are particularly pleased with my skill with patients.  

And next year is going to rule.  Starting in May my externships take me to Kansas City for 3 months at one of the best disease rotations in the country.  Then I got to Brisbane, Australia for 4 months to do a contact lens rotation, and then back up here that spring for graduation.   It's going to rock.

For now, I'm just chilling.  I'm going on a cruise starting this weekend and will be in the middle of the Caribbean for Christmas.  I can't wait.

Then I come back ready for the new year.

Yeah!

[JP Dogberry]

Hey! Brisbane is where I'll be moving in about a months time.  I assure you that it will indeed rock. Brisbane rules.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Well, Jam, you and I are going to have to meet.  And waste time.   Or something.

[JP Dogberry]

Yeah, sounds fun. Tell me when you end up here, and I'll let you in on the city's best places to waste time.  I think I know a number of them already, which speaks great lengths for the potential time-wasting of the place.

Cool- yet one more doctor in the world to be dimayed at how bad my vision is.

I've just got one tough semester left, and then one class to take at some point during the summer.  This winter  semester isn't going to be a lot of fun though - 18 credits, 6 classes, and 5 of them English.

But I'm so close I can taste it!

[Mistress of Darkness]

18 credits in winter semester? That's crazy. . .

Good luck though

[Mr_Pleasington]

I feel your pain, fuzzy.

The last two semesters I've carried 22 credit hours.

This coming one will be 23.

And yet, it's supposed to be easier. We'll see.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

My cousin is going for 21 credits next semester.

And good for you Mr. P on whatever it is you did.

And Fuzzy, I think my vision can out-bad your vision.

[EUOL]

I've got another year...or so, left on my masters.  I find myself more ambivalent than I probably should be.

[Brenna]

I'll be done with my Masters in April (Huzzah!) Next semester will be crazy, though, because I have to write my thesis (except for the first chapter--that's already written and only needs revision), and take two grad classes, one with a teacher I *really* don't like.

At least I'll have dance classes to keep me sane.

[Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock]

I'll start off politely. So Brenna, how are those dance classes going? Well I hope.

Nextly, why is it your taking dance? For dramatical purposes, or mayhaps just because?

[fuzzyoctopus]

Now why would you want to be impolite to Brenna?  She takes dance classes because she is a good dancer and enjoys dancing.

[Brenna]

What Fuzzy said.

I take dance classes because they are a blast.  I do folk dance and ballroom dancing, and compete in ballroom dancing.  

I'm pretty good at it, and it relaxes me.  It's also a very nice workout.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

You are all sick and wrong. More than 15 credits in a semester is insanity. No wonder you all think Nicole Kidman is pretty.

[fuzzyoctopus]

This is the first time I've ever tried 18 credits.  I HAVE to graduate.  We literally cannot afford to live here for much longer.
