Little slow right now...

Things are about to pick up again since Chemistry 2 class starts on Wednesday. I've had a nice laid-back few weeks, even though I have taken some summer classes. There was, of course, the trip to the Bahamas for biology, and you can read about that at Andros Blog if you wish.

I'm taking a swimming class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7-8am. That sounded like a really good idea during registration. It's not as fun getting up that early. But my other option was Tae Kwon Do in the evenings, and I would be out til almost 9pm. Swimming is a lot better, I think. I'm also taking an online Anthropology class, and that's going pretty well. We had a test on Friday, and I think I did alright. I'm still waiting for that grade.

I guess it's going to get pretty crazy once the Chemistry class starts. It's only a 5-week class, and I can't imagine cramming all that information into such a small period of time. Hopefully it will all work out. I've heard this instructor is really good, and I did get to meet him when he substituted for my Chem 1 lab teacher once during spring semester. I'm actually looking forward to this class, I'm ready to finish all the chemistry so I can get into my biology!

Hours-wise I will be a junior in the fall, if everything works out this summer. I'm getting a little nervous, this is going so fast! I can't believe that I might be one of the entering class at ACOM in 2013. That just doesn't sound doable at all at this point. But I'm working my tail off, so hopefully something great will come of it!

Summer is kinda cool

Sometimes I think I should put up a playlist of the music I'm listening to when I'm posting on here, I think it might add to the experience if you could hear what I'm hearing while I'm writing. SO right now I'm listening to Flyleaf's "So I Thought." It's a cool song and it's kinda fun to blog to.

I'm coasting along this week, we didn't have scheduled classes, but we met Tuesday through Thursday to work on our presentations, which we gave today. I think they went well. I like working with Parag and Hema, they really know their stuff, and I really don't. I did OK on the introduction, but I haven't had the class where they learned how to do these ecology presentations. (that would be Ecology class, haha!) So the presentations are behind us, and we have our final on Monday. We also have to turn in our field notebooks for Dr. Ballenger to grade.

I start the second part of summer term on Tuesday the 14th. I'm taking Chem 2, Cultural Anthropology and Swimming. Then I'll have two weeks off before Fall semester starts. It feels like it's going so fast! I'm taking Organic Chemistry in the Fall. I can't even imagine what that's going to be like. But I'll just take it one day at a time as usual.

**Edited to add: I made an A on the Bahamas class! WOOHOO!
