Anyways, I'm sitting here in the library, biding my time until my civil war class starts. I am feeling MUCH better today than I was yesterday. Partially because I did not take any NyQuil last night, and partially because my body is going "ha ha ha, stupid virus, you cannot beat me".
I'm still coughing a bit and my throat is a little sore (probably from all of the coughing), but besides that, nothing much.
I figured that I should discuss my last couple of days, which have essentially been doing school and some homework here and there. I've been driving myself insane on my chemistry so far (yay for me, only not). The Scavenger hunt this semester is MUCH harder than the one we did last semester. However, I have most of it done, so HOPEFULLY, I can get a good grade on it.
Of course, then I have pre-labs to do before Friday, and all kinds of other fun things. I am going to work a little on it after I finish here, however, I won't be spending too much time on it, because I need some coffee or tea to make it through tonight, and class starts in an hour.
I need grades. I thrive on grades, and right now, all I have is a trickle of stuff coming in from Organic Chemistry, and the dinky grades we get from things like attendance and other small inclass assignments. Nothing substantial to save my life.
I keep thinking about what I'm going to write for this first history paper in Ancient Egypt, and I am totally drawing up a blank. BLAH.
Anyways, classes for the last couple of days have been pretty blah. All of my rooms are grossly overheated and have next to no circulation. A lot of my classes run along the outside of the building, but none of them have any natural light, so my eyes have been overwhelmingly accustomed to fluorescent light. Right now, if I had to poll my classes according to personal interest, here's how things would be:
1. Cell Biology--I actually REALLY enjoy this stuff. This is like my #1 section of biology, with A&P, but just knowing how something so small does so much is REALLY cool. The teacher doesn't go into the depth I would like to (we went into more depth on some of this stuff in IB than we are now) go into, however, he does a good job with it and some really annoying people's questions.
2. Organic Chemistry Lecture--I think that reactions are awesome stuff, and giving how quickly I seem to memorize these things, I really like this stuff too. It doesn't have all kinds of math, where I make all of my stupid mistakes, and it explains a lot about what happens in general reactions. Ochem is definitely not as bad as people say it is.
3. Organic Chemistry Lab--This would be #2, if I did not get so frustrated looking up chemicals. I happen to like having something concrete to go along with the material that I'm reading.
4. Human Physiology--This is kind of low because we're doing things like diffusion and osmosis, which I already know. Once we get into things like Action Potential, Heart function, and kidney function, this will probably spurt up to #2.
5. Civil War and Reconstruction--This is my favorite part of American History (from American Revolution to Civil War/Reconstruction), but this teacher is somewhat cryptic and he wants too much group stuff/participation. Plus, he mocked me for having 4 majors. If he couldn't pull it off when he was an undergrad, he should not make fun of me for it.
6. Ancient Egypt--This one would be much higher if the teacher were a little more organized. I like Egyptian stuff, but he gets on all these side notes with Latin phrases , Mesopotamian history, and Greek stuff. If he stayed on task, this class would really be a lot better.
7. General Ecology--Doom and gloom meets biology.
8. Physics--BLAH. We know I don't like physics.
9. Anthropology--Why do people study this stuff?
Anthropology does not have many promises, frankly.
Ok, sun burning eyes. Will write later. Time for Chemistry.
