• Grad School

  I've started grad school this semester.  What struck me was the interesting way that tests are done. In my statistics course the tests are open book or take home.  A similar situation is employed in my other classes.  It goes to show you that the higher you get the less you need to remember facts and dates and crap.  What is most important is that you can adequately think and solve problems using resources at hand.  Or maybe it's the fact that I'm the Educational Psychology program, which means they know that tests based on what you remember from a class test your memory more than what you learned in the class.  I'll have to teach a class in the near future.

  It's pretty cool and I love the classes, but I'm very unmotivated to do homework.  Work has been tough and we're gearing up to start the new grant period.  Our budget was cut by about $150,000 so we'll be able to do a lot less, which means we have more time to sit around our computers and sort out through our data.

  On other news I'm applying for a new job next week as Cessation Counselor on campus.  Pay is good, sounds interesting, and I'd be able to impliment a cessation campaign on campus.  Awesome. 

  Upate:  I got the job.  AWESOME :D
