I'm finding the quarter system a bit odd after having been on semesters for my undergrad degree decades ago. Back then, an "exam" happened periodically (perhaps every few weeks) while a "midterm" was a much bigger deal, occurring halfway through the semester -- a couple of months into the class. Here, a "midterm" is any exam that isn't the final. There are two rounds of them, yet they're still called "midterms", and each covers maaaaaybe three or four weeks' worth of work. I just got caught up on stuff like cooking after the last week of "midterms" and next week we have them again.

Tomorrow: physics quiz and biology lab exam 1 (this lab exam is in the middle of the term and there's only one of it before the final)
Tuesday: biology "midterm 2" lecture exam (may move to Thursday)
Thursday: physics "midterm 2" exam
Friday: chemistry "midterm 2" exam

Oh yeah: this weekend, go call a square dance. Studying had better substitute for sleep. And keep up with that Lyme disease stuff: make sure you get lots of sleep. Don't neglect the clinic work either. Yeah. :-)
