Not that everything in last week's rambling list of my classes is horrible, awful, terrible and miserable -- and I'm the first to admit that I know I'll use what I'm learning someday -- but I am still jumping-out-of-my-skin excited for most of these core courses to be behind me so I can have some fun.
(Remeber, I'm a big nerd about health stuff. "Fun" is relative.)
I registered for classes for this summer and next fall, and now I have yet another reason to wish this semester was just over already: They sound awesome.
Here's how it's gonna go down:
May 13: Last project due & last final
May 14-17: Do absolutely nothing.
May 18-20: Get wisdom teeth yanked. While awake. Recover (physically and emotionally).
May 21-24: Head to hometown for friends' wedding & other friend's baby shower
May 25: May term starts! Taking Public Health Priorities in the Developing World & Animals in Healthcare (about animal-assited therapies -- I get to shadow a therapist! So fun!) for a couple weeks
June 8: (PAID!!!) fulltime internship in the communications department of the Minnesota Department of Human Services begins
June 15: Summer term starts! Taking environmental health and management courses online for the rest of the summer
Last week of summer: See May 14-17
September 8: Here we go again. On tap for fall semester: Applied Research Methods, Online Media Creation & Design, Public Health Policy as a Prevention Strategy, Refugee Health, Ethics, Community Building & Health
Oh, the joys of doing two programs at once -- I can detail spring and summer 2010 for you, too, if you'd like. Everything is in The Plan. The busy, busy Plan.
This is what grad school *will* look like (when I can finally take the stuff I want to take)
