Continued Observations

Well, the second full day of school is come and gone, and I can now make observations about all of my classes, except my anthropology one, and the organic chemistry lab itself. I expect that the lab instructor I had last semester will be the same as the one that I have this semester, however, I cannot be so sure of that.

It's hard to believe that only half of the first week of the semester is done. With my sickness, it feels like two or three weeks have gone by.

I had a scare earlier, and my boss sent out the revised schedule and neglected to put me on for Wednesdays from 5-7 PM. Fortunately, it was not a deliberate neglect.

So, back to my introduction to the semester observations. Human Physiology seems like it will not be overly difficult for me. Even though I have not had much physiology since high school, I am confident that the things I knew then will return to me relatively quickly. Of course, I could always borrow Erin's notes from her biology classes. I am personally, quite excited for nephrology (study of the kidneys) as I have a special fondness for them from high school biology. The professor certainly seems capable, however, he has interest in knowing us personally, etc. etc., which I don't personally like. I prefer to have some distance between the professor and the student, and again, I am going to be forced to acquiesce to what he wants, as he is the professor, and I am the student. I certainly expect to get an A.

Organic Chemistry is the same as last semester, however, I despise the room we are in.
Expectd Grade: A.

Physics is Physics. Expected Grade: A.

I have quite a bit of homework already for this semester, which I expect. I have several chapters of reading to do in all of my biology classes, like 3 chapters for tomorrow, and several additional chapters for next Monday. I think that taking notes will certainly help, and I aim to do so this semester, sicne I do not have heavy interference from my humanities oriented majors. I have several chapters of reading in History for next Tuesday, and I am supposed to have additional reading for Ancient Egypt, which I will get shortly after this posting. Then, I have the first homework assignment for the semester to consider in chemistry and physics, and I will have a lab assignment to do this Friday. All in all, reasonable expectations for the beginning of this semester.

I missed my sciences.
