This week EOTW is Kim Pandiagan! Make sure to introduce yourself to Kim if you haven't done so already! She'll be coming back soon!
1. What is your guilty pleasure(s)?
Eating dessert before dinner and then being too full for dinner! Soo good! I just can’t help it.
2. What's one thing about you that's too funny to share? (but you're going to anyways tongue emoticon )
When I was little, I ate so many carrots that I turned orange.
3. Tell us 3 random facts about yourself
Watching fireworks is probably one of my favorite things to do.
I have ridden on Tower of Terror over 100 times yet still freak out (have to close my eyes and grab my friends’ arms) every time I ride on it.
I love traveling and experiencing new cultures.
I’m not sure, but the “Hall of Fame” is stuck in my head right now. Not saying that I will end up in the hall of fame or anything like that but I like to think that with dedication and hard work I can accomplish my goals
Over break I moved back home to sunny Seattle where I worked at an optometry practice. In my spare time I worked on planning my wedding and went on a vacation to Japan.
Make sure to Congratulate Kim on her newest EYEnstein:
Hey EYEnsteins,
Sorry for the heavy email but there is a lot of important information in this email, PLEASE PLEASE read
it all the way through!! :)
Updates:
1. Vote on the new USEC (University Student Executive Council aka the new SA Board) Constitution and
Fee increase. ]
a. The low-down on what’s changing:
i. Constitution Changes: SA board has been working on this constitution with Dr.
Barnhard all year -- it is an adaptation of our original constitution, we revamped the
organization of it and created branches to better suit the growing school. We’ve
included branches for PAs and Pharmacy schools. There is nothing sketchy… so
please vote YES on the new constitution. Yay!
ii. Fee Increase: The proposal is for a $45 increase per student per year. This money
will go directly to each class. For example, there are 107 students in our class, with
$45/student - the class will get $4815 for the year. This will reduce the amount of
fundraisers the class cabinet needs to put on each year. All remaining funds will rollover
each year. If we do not spend all of the money by the time we graduate, it will
be donated to USEC.
iii. Please vote here, it is very very important!! :

2. Dr. Barnhardt prematurely brought this up in lecture last week. I went to Dr. Chu and proposed to
switch our Non-StrabBV Midterm from Thursday-Week 10 to Wednesday-Week 9 (April 28th). My
reason behind this switch proposal was to alleviate our current 2-midterm&3-proficiency schedule
Week 10.
. Pros: Slightly less stress for Week 10 and more time to study for Finals Week 1.
a. Cons: Back-to-Back midterms Week 9 (Non-StrabBV and Disease). Only 2 weeks between BV
midterm 1 and midterm 2 (not the biggest deal because Dr. Barnhardt said she will cut off the material for
Midterm 1 a little bit earlier than usual).
b. We need at least 75% of the class to agree on the switch for it to happen, please vote here:

3. Dr. Yacoub has a scheduling conflict during our OHP lectures on Thursdays, he is working on
switching his lecture time. The change will be TBA.
4. OHP Final Proficiency - I am working closely on this with Dr. Lu at the moment… she is trying to
push in our favor as much as possible! As of right now we will be having the Final Proficiency

know the official schedule, individual time slots, and groups soon!! - Stay Tuned.
