The week before Thanksgiving

So this week has been pretty chill. I mean, anything relaxing compared to non-stop studying for exams for two weeks. After exams, I met up with the Lyon girls and ate at a neat Chinese restaurant, and watched Sam Waterson in a L&O themed celebrity jeopardy, and also watched the Cornell v. Harvard hockey game at Ship of Fools.

We're taking a biostats and epidemoiology mini course and starting biochem this week. It's really not too bad, even though I never took stats before. And auto-tutorial biochem at Cornell is really helping me now. Like, I remember a lot of the amino acids, and protein structure stuff. And of course, all my nifty mneumonics for the amino acid symbols. Remember, "Lysine's one-letter symbol is K because Lysine sounds like Lysol which makes things Klean!" Weird, but it works for me.

Vidhi and I choreographed the first third of our First Year Dance for the cultural show. It starts off with a clip from "Eli re eli" - old school, I know, but a nice song. The practice went well, and the girls are seeming to get it quickly, so that's good.

I had a meeting for SAMSA/APAMSA yesterday for committee. I signed up to be on publicity committee. I had another meeting for choreographers today, which totally could have been done through E-mail, but at least I met some of the choreographers. And apparently the skit crew is doing something interesting. I also had a dance practice for the Persian dance. The music is changed now, but it's coming along well, I think. Except this one move where I have to cross my legs over one another in a line, but I think my thighs are too big or I have short legs, so it's giving me issues. I think I will practice it again this weekend. I could have gone to Taco Bell with Vidhi and Alexis, because we were all starving after practice, but I decided to be good and try and finished the food in the fridge.

So yeah, I think we're going to try to choreograph the second third of the dance tomorrow night. Persiand dance practice on Sunday. Then, our dance practice on Monday. Publicity meeting on Monday night. Some bhangra meeting on Monday too, I think. And then, on top of that, I have a test on Wednesday. I just need to pass, and I have been fairly up to date with the material, so I really hope that all this stuff won't drive me crazy.

Oh, and apparently, we have to read some articles for epidemiology, and then some stuff for biochem conference thing. I like the biochem prof; she's this cute Asian woman, who laughs so adorably.
