2nd Term Rants and Ravings - Part I

Okay, so this blog hasn't been updated in a while. This is bad news for my non-existent readers. Anyways, I am almost done with 2nd term...4 weeks left and thought I'd share my thoughts so far.
One sentence answer would be that 2nd term sucks giant donkey balls. I hated it and everything that can possibly go wrong did happen this term.

First off, my roommate and I got an e-mail from housing the Friday of the week we leave that we will be staying at the craptacular Grand Anse since SD-6 was not ready. While this is not too bad, the bad part was how SGU Housing informed us of the situation...first off the e-mail as sent on the Friday before classes start...which was a Tuesday. They sent the e-mail after 5:00 PM, knowing that students have questions that they didn't give 2 shits about to answer. Well, we eventually got to move into SD6 but there were no hot water or internet for several weeks.

Secondly, while it seems that the classes carry less credits this term...they are a hell of a lot more work. You have heard the adage that med school is like drinking from a water fountain...this term was more like drinking from a shark infested ocean. I like physiology...it's work but good work. Neuro I can take or leave depending on who is doing the lecture. Some of the neuro staff needs to work on their notes..while the presentations are okay, the notes are a laundry list which frequently consists of clothes with skid marks. The less said about immuno the better....which is a shame since, the course can be made very interesting.

Oh yes, and despite building a new dorm to accomodate students, the school still doesn't have enough space for students...i.e. me. My roommate and I failed to win the lottery, have yet to be placed on the waitlist...and have signed a lease.

Bottom line, the sooner I get off this island the better.
