Round 3

This morning is Exam 3 time for my Patho and Micro classes. I have watered down the exams to a point that I am almost ashamed to call them college level! The Micro exam is so basic and such easy questions that I hope everyone gets either B's or A's. No one should fail that exam! The patho stuff is challenging, but I try to pick questions that are directly from my powerpoints or the book and very straightforward. This unit is a bit easier, so I hope the class average goes up to around 80 or so. Not that I am that concerned, as long as I am doing my best as the prof, then it is up to the students to pick up their end.

Another beautiful, sunny, cool morning in Memphis. I didn't really know what to expect in terms of weather when we moved here, but it has been better than I could have hoped for, save for the Katrina remnants. Only one other storm since August and the Fall has been beautiful! The lake by our house has really turned into an arena of colors as Fall has deepened and the walk there is so nice and tranquil, save for a couple of barking dogs. The sky is usually a gorgeous blue, with a rare wisp of a cloud or two and the sunrise out of my office window always brings a smile to my soul.

Friday is here, so that means FOOTBALL! This time of year the college games mean more and the pros are getting serious about halfway through their season. The weather is cold and some games on Sunday may even have to deal with snow. As kids, my brother and I loved getting a pick up game of touch football in the snow. Most of the time, it turned into tackle, but it was all great fun.

Got to go tend to my 8 am patho exam. Sat morning means an 8 am API class followed by lab, but I am used to it now and the commute to midtown in so easy on Sat morning.

Good day.
