Wouldn’t you know it? I made a nice entry last week but never uploaded it. Silly me

I have not heard about my comps yet, so no word on that front

All of my classes have met and I think this is going to be a very interesting semester albeit a tough one. Epidemiology will have me reading a lot and Multivariate will have me doing a lot of computer work. I talk more about them later.

I ran the Scholar’s Run last Saturday and it was my officially slowest time when running by myself. in my defense, the course is packed with some hills at the beginning and some at the end. So, I had that working against me. But the biggest thing was the lack O’ running since Eric has been born. So although the time was not very good, I didn’t mind.

It has been a longtime since I have updated my website. Eric has been taking up all of our time. And when I do have time to work on the website, it has been to try to get his pictures up!

Last week was Comp week. I had 2 comprehensive exams with one of the exams coving 2 different classes. I am pretty sure that I passed one of the exams, and conditional passed the other. I am worried that I did not pass the Design of Experiment comp exam. This means that I would have to retake it in December.

We are trying to get Eric on a regular schedule, which means that the luxury of a shower (every other day) is now attainable. I believe that I went a streak of 8 days that I did not shower. I did wipe off with baby wipes each morning and evening, so it wasn’t like I was incredibly gross! We have also been able to work out some more here and there. I am trying to commit to running every other day. Once school starts, I will be able to work out on campus in between work and classes.

Back to school stuff, I am taking 2 classes, Multivariate analysis and Epidemiology. My Epidemiology class is a class from the Public Health Department as an elective. It meets every Monday from 6:45pm-9:35pm, which will make Mondays very long. I am also taking 3 one credit course for the work that I do at TVA and UT Statistical Consulting Center. I will be working at TVA on Mondays for 4-6 hours and will be working at the SCC for 20 hours a week.
