There is apparently this thing called a "hurricane" coming to Houston. So far, despite what the weather channel is telling you, this has been a very good thing for Baylor College of Medicine students. Baylor closed down the college at 3:00 pm yesterday (Thursday) and will remain closed until the storm is over. Therefore, the dean decided to COMPLETELY CANCEL our block 1 finals next week. The test and practicals are not postponed, not rescheduled, just canceled!!!
The bad news is that the material will surely be tested in some cumulative way during the next block exam, which will make the next test substantially worse. Oh, and I guess that the flooding, wind and rain is bad too. But for now, I have a full 10 day break before the start of the next block, which is a precious thing in med school indeed.
Since Lisa and I both have school canceled tomorrow, we decided to head out to Mike and Linda's, which is NW of Houston, though still right in the path of Ike. The big problem for us will likely be losing power for several days, but otherwise we should be fine.
