Study break

I'm checking my email and taking a study break - the first Immunology midterm is today. Since I went to a small college, I don't think I've EVER had an evening exam.

General Virology last Friday went very well - only one person scored higher than me, one scored the same, and they were both fellow grad students. I don't like exam-based courses though, because they do nothing whatsoever to improve my appalling lack of academic discipline. I'd rather have a course with assignments that force me to do work.

FlowerMoonFish, who's a much better Christian than me, says she would purposely study MORE than she had to in junior college so that the less smart girls in her dorm wouldn't feel bad if they saw her relaxing before exams. I think if I'd done JC in Singapore, I'd just have used the extra time to go kai-kai to get away from the insanely competitive atmosphere.

The Ebling Library near the university hospital is a great place to study. Rows of desks with outside views, a sort of study "bar" facing the internal gallery of the Health Sciences Learning Center building, and MASSIVE glass windows for sunlight. Since it's further from campus, there are fewer annoying undergrads around =)
