Apparently, my concerns about my first "Week of Hell" out of the five that I have this semester were somewhat overrated. These are the results of the "Week of Hell One":

Organic Chemistry Exam: 94% A
Cell Biology Quiz: 100% A
General Ecology Exam: 98% A
Human Physiology Exam: 98% A

So, obviously, no 94% curse exists.

I still, however, am very concerned regarding my Civil War presentation tonight. So far, I have gotten a feeling for each of my professors' grading techniques except for my two history professors. I anticipate a high level of difficulty in succeeding whenever I have no predisposition to a professor's grading techniques.

I decided that for my senior thesis in History, I would like to investigate the Spanish Civil War and the rise of Fascism there. For Philosophy, I would still like to pursue either an ethical system for astrobiological science or an examination into non-traditional health care ethical systems. I am considering undertaking the Biology thesis, so that I can graduate with honors in the department, however, I am not sure what to study or with whom I can communicate to begin inestigating a possible thesis topic.

I also decided that for my first ancient Egypt essay, I would like to investigate the life of one of the chief viziers, Ptahhotep, to Isesi I, as in our literature text, there is an extensive draft attributed to him. Perhaps there is some historical fruit in examining Ptahhotep's role and the possible reasons for his text, as well as some kind of analysis of that text.

That's my life right now, anyways.
