Anyone going to Skate America?

[cheerknithanson]

Ooh, ecology! Fun! What field do you want to go into?

Well I want to go into medicine. Specifically I want to work at the National Institute of Health in the Allergies and Infectious Diseases branch.

Woo, ecology! :dance: Definitely my favorite class, but then I'm an ecologist, so I guess that's to be expected lol.

Of course lol. It's required for my major (biology). And we have to write a scientific paper in lab/recitation. That's like very very long. Cause all majors at my college have to take a writing intensive class. And ecology is the one for bio majors.

I mean the topics we learn about are very cool.

Best wishes! My wife got her PHD in plant ecology and had a wonderful career working for the Forest Service and finally the BLM, indentifying rare plants and monitoring their populations.....my hat is off to anyone going into medicine....there arent enough of you.....

I'm a bio major. Taking Ecology, physics, and psychology this semester.

I wonder how they cut the physics pie now in college? In engineering at the U of Ill. we took mechanical physics and relativity.....

Thanks! Though I want to go into the research side of medicine because I feel like I'll do better in it. Why? Because I'm the first to admit I'm not one who can take the lead in a situation easily and be firm about it. And plus when I like to look up stuff relating to medicine. So like researching is something that is kind of more of an interest to me. Specifically in the section of allergies and infectious diseases.

I have the same personality type as you. I am more a follower which is not what a surgeon or hands on doctor needs to be.....I had stress in my chosen field for sure, but I wouldnt like to be a surgeon, police officer, or fire fighter, or air traffic controller, I would chain smoke, drink heavily and put on 100 pounds! Chris who dumped all the stress by retiring.

Has anyone planned an outfit for Skate America? I planned a few items of clothing to wear. Like both days I'm wearing black Converses. One day I'm wearing black jeans and the other day I'm wearing black leggings that are of a FAUX leather material (To assure any vegans and animals rights activists that I'm not wearing anything that'll upset you).

I don't have the tickets right in front of me. But I'll look when I get home. I can't wait for Friday. I'm leaving VERY early in the morning. Though I'm going to be SO excited on Thursday. And impatient. CRAB IT'S ALMOST HERE!

I'm pondering if I should bring my homework, laptop, and hotspot into the arena so I can get at least a bit of homework done like during ice resurfacing. Lol.

I'm definitely doing the same thing. I'm hoping to get some work during the resurfacing because college stops for no one

Mhm. Though for me I probably will do my laptop stuff at the hotel due to if I use my laptop for homework, I'll be using more than my laptop. USUALLY. I'll probably bring my notes for ecology due to that it won't be a lot. Sheesh I realized I can't do my homework without a LOT of stuff. LOL.

What do people do during the 45 min. breaks between practice sessions? Do they usually give you a wristband or something to go in and out? That's a lot longer than your typical ice resurface.

Yes typically there's a wristband involved. I know I got one when I went to Skam in 2012 and Nationals in 2014.

Hopefully everyone who is travelling to Milwaukee has better luck than I am...currently stuck in airport since transfer flight is delayed 3 1/2 hours. But I can't wait!

 

[cheerknithanson]

LOL! When I was in my ecology class earlier this morning, he mentioned Wisconsion to talk about community ecology and species extinction, and I got excited cause well, Milwaukee is in Wisconsin. Lol! Tomorrow isn't here soon enough.
