Presentation update

Got my presentation done this morning! It went okay. Actually, it went well but I made a different assumption than what the professor intended. He needs to write his descriptions more clearly!

We basically have to pick one from different hypothetical scenarios and recommend the best regulatory pathway. Mine is our company has a medical device that's already used by the military, but we want to make it available to the "general consumers". So that's exactly what I did. Except we kind of crossed paths with the term "general consumers". I interpreted it as make it it available for the hospitals, clinics, laboratories, etc. so the public, as in the general consumers, have access to it. His interpretation is that it's over-the-counter, meaning you can get it off the shelf at say Rite Aid. The kind of device we are talking about is not something one would expect to be OTC.

So basically, he said the presentation was good and my conclusion was correct based on my interpretation. But, he wants me to write my paper as if the medical device is OTC. For someone who is supposed to be a regulatory expert used to dealing with the FDA, my professor needs to work on using the appropriate language so it's specific. FDA regulations are very vague and are subject to interpretation to begin with. It's so annoying! I now have to do more work on the paper (I thought I was almost done!) and submit it by the end of the week.

Oh! The funny thing was I printed out some notes for my presentation. Turned out the last 2 pages did not print because my printer ran out of paper. I didn't realize it until during my presentation, LOL! Luckily, I had the file open on my desktop so I quickly looked at the slides and winged it! He also asked me this really difficult question which threw me off the loop. It took me awhile but I got it! Not as smoothly as I would have preferred, but I'm happy with it!

Workouts...I had to double up today. Did 20 minutes of HIIT on the eliptical (314 calories burned) + UBWO + abs. I varied my UBWO slightly today by doing 2 different exercise per body part and 3 supersets each. I also increased the weights & decreased the reps as I moved from one superset to the next. The exercises were the same as the last 4 weeks though. I didn't have time to come up with something new this weekend. I'm still feeling the burn so it's all good!

One funny thing at the gym...there were 2 guys there that I know that were sort of working out, sort of goofing off. They were LOUD!!! People were giving them the looks. I was sort of trying to ignore them by just doing my workout and listening to my iPOD - basically pretending I didn't know them. Unfortunately, one of them came over and said hi to me, LOL! Nice guys though, so it didn't bother me too much.

No running today to give my legs some rest. It's a good thing because it will give me sometime to work on my paper and do some housework.
