dchenesHarvard graduated yesterday. Apparently we're one of very few dental schools that graduated everybody on time with all of their licensure exams taken and passed the first time (licensure exams aren't a graduation requirement, but they usually happen before graduation anyway, so nobody had to worry about them being canceled). At least the only thing our class of 2020 has to deal with is when their residency programs will let them start.
So now we only have three classes to worry about. The rising fourth year and rising third year want to know when they need to be back to start clinic/preclinic. We don't know, because the state and the university haven't told us yet. So we keep having meetings that amount to "we don't know", and everybody is getting frustrated, the students because they need to get back here and self-quarantine for two weeks before they can start, and us because we don't know when to tell them to plan for coming back by.
We redesigned the rising second year curriculum in an hour and a half on Tuesday, except we forgot about the five weeks in March and April that turned into three weeks in November and December, so what do we do with the extra two weeks? We can worry about that on Monday.
It's supposed to be less humid by Sunday. That would be nice. I love the 75-80 degree weather, but the 75-80% humidity is a bit much. If it's going to be like this all summer and I'm working from home all summer, I'm going to have to invest in an air conditioner for the office. I can sleep without one, but I can't sit in here all day and swelter and be productive at the same time.
