Wow, this quarter got hard fast. Profs are dropping terms like "polytomous logistic regression" and "occult coronary and carotid stenosis" like I've ever heard them before or should guess what they mean. To say that I'm feeling a little bit lost and overwhelmed right now would be a pretty big understatement.
Still, I'm grateful for the challenge. Though I am going to have to work unusually hard this quarter just to get by, I feel like at the end of it I'll be much, much closer to being a legit epidemiologist, and that's what I came here for, right?
In other news, I found out I am going to be renewed on my training grant next year unless I flunk out. This means I have another year before I'm responsible for securing my own external funding. That's really good news, because not only does it mean I can eat next year, but it means I only have to find funding for 3 years. The Environmental Protection Agency's "Science to Achieve Results" grant provides financial support for 3 years. So if I can land it for the years after next, that will mean I'm totally set for the (average) 5 years of my program. Awesome? Awesome.
