I know I haven't updated this blog in forever, but!
I have finished my third semester of college. I declared my major as biochemistry & molecular biology. I just finished exams as of 10:30 yesterday. This past semester I took developmental biology, organic chemistry, physics, and a psych class called behavioral neuronscience. Dev bio was pretty much embryology--a class on how different organisms develop (ranging from annelids to humans), a little bit of the molecular aspects, and a lot of what anatomical primordium do different organs arise from. It was a fantastic class with a fantastic professor, although it was pretty tough. I really enjoyed o-chem quite a bit, in fact more than I expected to, and think I may have done fairly well in it. And then physics was challenging, and not really my thing, but it's interesting enough. My psych class was looking at problems that tend to be biological ones from the perspective of understanding behavior, which was pretty cool. It was a tough semester, but I'm mostly relieved that it's over, all my exams are taken, and all my coursework is turned in.
Next semester I'm taking the second semester of physics and o-chem, genetics & gene regulation, and intro to probability and statistics. In physics we're going to start with general relativity which should be cool. The second semester o-chem prof is supposed to be absolutely fantastic, and I really like the professor who teaches gene reg. Also, the prof who teaches stats is supposed to be pretty cool too. So that should be good.
I'm coming home to Chicago on Tuesday and looking forward to relaxing.
