Upcoming Classes: The Long Battle with Dosage Form Technology and the Sunday Latin Test

As the semester rolls on, there's a collective sigh that echoes through the halls—yes, it's time again for the dreaded Dosage Form Technology class. For those of you new to this subject, or somehow still unacquainted with the harsh realities of this course, let me paint you a picture.

Imagine a marathon, but instead of running, you're sitting in a lecture room for what feels like an eternity. Our esteemed professor is a master of turning 90-minute sessions into something that feels like an entire afternoon. Not to mention, he loves keeping us on our toes by scheduling the briefest of breaks. We're talking 5 minutes—barely enough time to stretch, let alone clear your mind or grab a coffee to survive the rest of the session. It's like he’s perfected the art of dragging out each explanation, extending the agony while you slowly watch the clock inch forward.

So, be prepared for yet another endurance test in the next session. The content might be interesting (sometimes!), but the delivery… well, let’s just say it tests more than just your academic abilities.

But if that wasn’t enough to keep you on edge, Sunday brings a whole new challenge: the Latin Test for Herbal Medicine. Yes, you read that correctly—a test, on a Sunday. While many of us would rather be relaxing or getting a head start on the next week's assignments, we’ll be diving into the intricacies of botanical terms in Latin.

For anyone who’s been putting off studying (myself included), now’s the time to buckle down. This isn't just a basic vocabulary quiz; it’s a deep dive into the Latin names of medicinal plants, something essential for understanding herbal pharmacology but equally daunting. Even if you’ve been keeping up with your flashcards, don’t underestimate how tricky this could get. So, between surviving long-winded lectures and cramming for Latin, this week is shaping up to be a real test of endurance.
