Week of 3/10/13- 3/16/13 In Review
I apologize for how overdue this
post is, however, I’m sure you understand. Anyway, I’ve decided to do a recap
of my week in lieu of daily updates.
Monday – An unremarkable day. The
Monday following spring break is such a downer. It’s rough to think about how a
week ago you were building an entire empire in the Sims Medieval and now you’re
listening to your professor talk about organic oxidation and reduction
mechanisms. (I have a Sims problem – it’s
okay, I’ve already acknowledged this.)

Tuesday – I went to the 10th
anniversary black-tie gala celebrating GVSU’s literary magazine “Fishladder.”It
was a fun night full of tasty hors d'oeuvres and fancy lemonade. And anyway,
who doesn’t love an excuse to wear a fancy dress? We listened to a few poems
and socialized but I had to leave early to go to my Pre-Dental meeting.
At
my Pre-Dental meeting we discussed the overall process of getting into dental
school - taking the DAT, filling out the AADAS, getting letters of rec, all the
basics – it was a good presentation!
Wednesday – Had a genetics quiz.
We had 15 minutes to do 2 4X4 and 2 2X2 punnett squares which involved listing
all possible phenotypes. These tasks along with having to answer 5 normal quiz
questions resulted in a very frantic PJ furiously scribbling down answers. Got
our scores back Thursday night and come to find out, the class average was a
50%! Go figure…?
I also attended
GVSU LGBT’s center’s Greek Allies and Advocates training. The training involved
learning correct terminology when dealing with LGBT issues and how to fight
bias. I learned a lot AND there were free cookies! (Always a plus.)

Thursday – Pre-Professional school
fair! I got to meet an Admission Representative from U of M’s Dental School and
learned lots of valuable information. But I also learned a discouraging
factoid. Apparently, U of M likes to see at least one semester of physics taken
before applying for dental school. There went my plan of not facing the physics
beast until senior year…
Friday – I travelled to U of M to
visit my boyfriend. He took me out to a fancy dinner at Carson’s American
Bistro. After the hostess sat us down she gave us our menus which just so
happened to be tablets! Crazy! I didn’t even know how to work mine, since I
have always been about a year behind in the technology development… (I had a
flip-phone until senior year of high school, AND my iPod I’m currently
listening to is from 9th grade – just to give you a few examples.)
After
dinner, Jeff and I participated in a Nerf Gun war – which I have to say,
although terrifying, was actually a very fun time. The amount of advanced Nerf
gear I saw was pretty impressive. (I made sure the guy with the Nerf blow darts
was on my team.)

| Yes, you should be intimidated. |

| Just kidding - now you should be. |
Saturday – The better part of my
Saturday was spent studying chemistry and finishing up a lab report. My
boyfriend also started my Pre-Dental Club website. (We even have a logo! How
fun?!)

| Our new logo! Thanks, Jeff! |
Being
St. Patrick’s Day weekend, my boyfriend and I decided to go out. Now if you
know anything about me, you know that I am NOT the type of girl that goes out
often. In fact, the number of times I’ve went out partying since my freshman
year of college – including last Saturday – is two. I usually prefer a quiet night in with my Wii,
(I know – crazy, right?) It was fun, however, and I got to meet all of Jeff’s U
of M friends. Ann Arbor is a completely different world compared to good ‘ol
GVSU!

So
that’s about it! It was an uneventful week, but I always like to keep track of
things!
Until next time,
PJ
