I really need to blog more. I haven't posted a thing in over three months, and I do not like this radio silence.
I've been so busy that it's not even funny. My Cell and Molecular Biology teacher is absolutely incompetent and has us doing constant busywork with her lab reports. I'm really starting to hate this class, which is not a good thing. I used to be able to do lab reports for Dr. C. in maybe three hours. Dr. C-K's lab reports take at least six hours. It's not the methods that are the difficult part, it's the discussion. Half the time none of us even know what she's asking for. It doesn't help that she still hasn't given us most of our lab reports back.
I love my Organic Chemistry class, though. Dr. S. is still a great teacher and I understand what we're going over - it's so much fun. I love making things in the lab, too. It's kind of an ongoing joke between me and Private that I always get what we're supposed to get and he doesn't. A few weeks ago, I had a slurry of white fluffy crystals in acidic ethanol when he had brown sludge. It was really very funny. That and he always breaks stuff. We've had a total of one lab this semester alone where he hasn't broken anything. And we've had like eight labs.
Theology is a bit boring, though. I like Prof. R. - she's really nice and she keeps things understandable - but I already know almost everything we've gone over in this class. I also have to work on a presentation with one of my roommates, Flutter, that goes for a half an hour during class. About the Orthodox Church. I can do that, but a half an hour seems like a lot. At least she only requires one church visit, though. Almost all of the other Theology profs require at least two to five from what I've heard...so, I have to do that when I get back. Fun stuff.
The only other class that I'm currently in is World Geography, which is fairly interesting, but it's really difficult to take notes in the class because Prof. B. goes really fast and the notes he has up on the screen are a bit fragmented at times...still, it's an enjoyable class and it's fairly easy.
My PE class, which is on nutrition starts on Monday, though. I don't know whether to look forward to it or not because it's PE and it's a gen ed class....
Other than that, I'm auditing a class called Transatlantic Literature with Dr. E. S. That is a very interesting class. It started out with Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and then went to Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. Those are very different books, to say the very least.
Now, I'm off to do some catching up with my blog. Hopefully I'll be able to actually keep up from now on...
