Halloween and The Past Week

So Halloween has come and gone and I didn't even dress up this year. For starters, I had a good short week this past week. Unfortunately I missed a day of lectures because I was sick again (not shingles, thank god!), just a cold. I must have caught the bug from the 50 other people that were sick in class! There were a couple of days where I just could not hear the lecturer over everyone coughing! Ridiculous! The day I stayed at home, I worked on those day's lectures and kept myself caught up so I wouldn't fall behind. That's the last thing I want to do with all of the material that we are covering this year. I am loving every lecture, but sometimes the Pharmacology lectures are so boring. I suppose you can't make a Pharmacology lecture exciting though. This week has started off with Pharmacology yet again (antimicrobials) and Liver Pathology. I love all of the pathology lectures and the pictures that are shown are the best part! On Saturday, I carved a pumpkin with some people from class and yesterday I put my pumpkin out and picked up some candy for trick or treaters. I had 4 trick or treaters come by. It also must be a UK thing, but every trick or treater had to tell me a joke before they endulged themselves in a couple of handfuls of candy. One joke from a little girl was, "what do polar bears eat?", to which I replied, "sea lions", she then said, "nope, ICEBURGers!" (the drums played afterwards...bu dum dum ch!) So today, we had 4 lectures and now I am trying to keep up and rewrite them all before the long day that lies ahead of me for tomorrow. Hope all is well and I will start writing more often, I just got swamped with notes!

Glad lectures are enjoyable, and that you are now feeling better. How cute that must have been to listen to those jokes, and what a great little UK tradition. Such lovely memories you will bring back with you!
Miss you so much!
Love,
