My school, not the kids' school. Let 'em get their own blogs.
2.5 weeks to go, and I will have lived through the first semester. Pwahhhhhhhh, will be the noise I make after I walk out of the last final. It has been quite a four months - some of the more stressful of my life, but certainly also among the most interesting and fulfilling. And MAN, does time fly when you're busy and happy. I'll be through this degree in no time.
I finished my last paper today, I have two take home finals and one in class final left to go. No one is to mention the word, "Christmas" until after that.
I've gotten interested enough in environmental health (that's your garden variety air pollution, lead toxicity, radon, and now new and improved with global warming for extra added value!) to squeeze every ounce of extra class time into my spring schedule, topping out at 14 units (at least two will be credit/no credit, so I don't die of acute academia). So, just in case you're keeping track, starting January 21 it'll be:
Statistical Analysis of Categorical Data (that's stuff that isn't measured by number, like gender)
SAS (that's the big statistical software package)
GIS (that's the big spatial data modeling program)
Global Environmental Change for Health Scientists (pretty self-explanatory)
Heavy on the geek stuff. I'm excited!

Ohhhhhh, GIS. No one I knew in grad school who was studying GIS was anything but thrilled. And yesterday, a friend told me of a little extra-curricular project she put together for her friends where they mapped local coffee spots and overlayed them with data about the marital status, job field, and income level of men who hung out there. Go academia!! Not that you'll need to do that for you, but what power.
