“The Nike+ FuelBand is designed for anyone who wants to be more active. It measures your daily activity and turns it all into NikeFuel. So you can set a goal for every day and then go out and beat it. Life is a sport. Make it Count.”
This is a pretty sweet route Nike is going. I think it’s just what the society of 2012 needs.
1/7/12 — Candy Land, the race was on.
This is Chad. He has been my chemistry teacher for the past week and a half. He has gotten great reviews over at the Student Doctor Network for being a top resource for chemistry review. I’ve been trusting his lectures to give me quality and refreshing overviews of my general and organic chemistries. The lecture set for both chemistries cost $60 and each has an accompanying outline and online end-of-lecture quiz which have been great.
I am in my second serious and full week of studying for the DAT, which I plan to take the second week of March, and I can totally say that I am in a deep world of science for the next couple of months. The balancing of DAT studying (Gen Chem, Organic Chem, Biology, Perceptual Ability, Quantitative Reasoning, and Reading Comp) with my classes for this semester (Neurobio, Microbio, Medical Entomology, Abnormal Psyc) has proven to be a great way to take up not only all the day-lit hours of the day, but most of the moon-lit hours as well.
This is quite the adventure, but I am learning to enjoy and embrace it all, one day at a time.
Spending Friday in some serious sciences. There are a lot of review options out there and I recently stumbled across DATqVault which has given me a different perspective on some Biology topics — it has been especially efficient in highlighting my lack of developmental biology knowledge!
Always love a fire in the woods of suburban Atlanta.
Loving the Elements!
Taking a nice break from the Organic chemistry prep I’ve been busy with today and doing a little coding/tuneup. I redesigned the layout of the blog earlier last year but never really finished as classes, soccer, and whatnot really got busy. One day it will be finished… or I will come up with some crazy new layout which will replace this one that’s perpetually in progress. That’s how a web-based-hobby goes though!
The Christmas break has been a very good one. Had a great time with family in Columbus for Christmas and a great time with my and Shade’s family here at home. I’ve been doing some shadowing as well, which has definitely put a spark into my DAT preparation (I have A LOT to re-understand).
I shadowed in two very different dental atmospheres which is always a good thing. The large practice vs the private practice… the specialist vs the general dentist. All this is so new and exciting, the boundaries of what it is possible are really out of sight. It has been a great time to get in and shadow and get psyched while classes are on halt as an excellent semester and quality/worthwhile DAT studying is most certainly needed in the coming months!
