midterms already?

This week has been a high-stress one for me. I turned in a 15-page group paper on Monday, I have a biostatistics test at 8am tomorrow, and an epidemiology test on Friday at 9am. I also turned in another paper and an assignment today. It all came crashing down at once.

The biostats is at least open-book, but for epi I have to remember things like the attributed risk percent in a population is prevalence minus relative risk minus one over prevalence minus relative risk minus one plus one, times 100%. Or some such garbley-gook. And that 40% of the mortality in the developing world is due to non-communicable diseases. Or is it communicable diseases? Hmm, I better get back to studying. It's all melting out my ear.
