Current mood:

peaceful

Compensating for my lack of posts.
So, yeah. School started on Tuesday. I've been to all of my classes thus far except for labs which don't start until next week. Oh, and my American Indian History class, but stuff came up and I'm praying that the professor will let me make it up. I'm so stoked about my physics class. I'm almost done with the first set of homework problems that isn't due until next friday (hang head in shame at my geekiness). I think Stoner might be getting cranky with me. We take physics together, and it's our first class of the day on Tue & Thur, and we have in class questions that we discuss and answer through PRS units (I don't know if PRS is a commonly used system or not). I tried to discuss the answers with her, and when our answers differed, I tried to either ask her why she gave the answer that she did or try to explain why I gave the answer that I gave, and she seemed to get frustrated. I think I'll just stop trying to do that and just answer the question. If she wants to ask me she can, if not then I'll just be pissing her off anyway. Oh, well. My physics teacher is cool, though. He's a Cornell graduate, and while he's not nearly as awesome as Mr. Gibbs, he's still pretty cool. But then again, Mr. Gibbs is pretty hard to top as a physics teacher.

Stats is going to be interesting. I'm suddenly so happy that Kristi, Neigh and I did that independent study in high school. I know no one in that class and that teach doesn't speak very well. She's nice and she knows what she's talking about; it's just hard to understand her during lecture. Chemistry is chemistry; I'm not excited about it, but it shouldn't be too bad. My zoonses class is going to kick ass, though. I was kind of nervous, because one of the first things Dr. Berryhill said is that he's going to be refering to microbio. a lot, which I haven't taken. The entire class consists of Vet Tech majors, so I'm out of the loop there as well. But I talked to Dr. Berryhill, and he's going to give me private mini-tutorials on microbiology so that I can keep up with the rest of the class. Unfortunately, my parasitology teacher wasn't as forgiving. Apparently, parasitology is a class for registered Vet Tech majors only, so they kicked me out. BUT because I expressed such an interest in higher-level applications, the parasitology teacher got me on an inside track into the necrology labs. Apparently, NDSU has the state animal necrology labs for all of North Dakota, and they have an independent study hosted there where you go in and get to participate in the animal autopies. It's very hands on. There's only 13 students in the class, it's one hour a week, and no homework! It's really neat. I'm really looking forward to it.

Other than that I'm got work, CRU, prayer group, Chi-Alpha, church and college service, oh, and bible study with Stoner. Jess was telling me what she wanted to cover this term, and it seems like it's going to be a lot of fun. Oh, and my college service started talking about this bible study "tour" that is supposed to be absolutely incredible. No one else that I know will be able to do it, but it just seems like too good of an opportunity to turn down, so I'm going to attend anyway.

Other than that, my apartment is slightly less crowded now, since Amanda moved out. I'm not taking on another roommate, which is nice but does pose challenges. The challenges are managable, though. It's nice because now I can just have the place be mine and I don't have to worry about offending anyone or getting in their way. I can also walk through the apartment naked and not worrry about someone coming through the front door, which I'm certain I locked. :)

So yeah, that's my life for this term. There's a lot of uncertinty about what I'm going to do this summer, but I'm definitely going to be home for Jackie's graduation (as I promised I would be like two years ago), and if all goes well, I'll be coming home for my Spring break. XD *crosses fingers hopefully*

Hope you all have a great term. Love ya!
