The finals are coming!

I don't have time to be witty or come up with some interesting "theme" to discuss at length today, but I thought I should give a little attention to this blog for a change. So, a quick update on what's going on in the life of this PhD students these days. Tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester. I've already given presentations for 2 classes-one on inositol for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome, the other a group presentation on the soy/breast cancer debate, so the only big project I have left to do is a 5-6 page paper which is due Thursday. Unfortunately, I also have my most challenging final on Thursday. I have not started the paper nor have I started studying for the exam. Each task could easily consume the better part of two days, but I only have 1 1/2 days to do both. I'm also trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for the summer class I need to take, without adding to the amount I owe in student loans, which rivals the national debt at this point. On the plus side, though, I really do enjoy (almost) each and every day I am in school. There's nothing I'd rather be doing right now. Well... except maybe being the stay-at-home wife of multimillionaire.
