BOT 3802 - Ethnobotany
Professor is alright I guess, she wrote our textbook. The class is held in an auditorium as there are a ton of people in it. So far we're basically just relearning about plant biology stuff from biology II. We had our first test yesterday and I don't think I did too well on it. :c

PCB 3044 - Principles of Ecology
I have two professors for this course. One teaches the first half and the other teaches the second half (after spring break). My current professor looks a LOT like an older David Krumholtz (a.k.a Charlie Eppes from Numb3rs and Mr. Universe from Serenity). I also had a test in this class yesterday and I feel like I did much better than the ethnobotany one. :)

PCB 3044L - Principels of Ecology Lab
One of my favorite classes so far. There's a lot of field work in this lab and I love it. Last Monday we took the biology vans to a cemetary and went through and took data from the headstones. We're looking at males/females that died before 1950 vs. those that died after 1950 and comparing their ages. We also have an ongoing experiment using flys. We're comparing two species of flies and how competition will influence their breeding habits. Each species gets its own test tube with 2 males and 2 females and then there's a third tube with 2 males and 2 females from both species in it. These flies reproduce like crazy! I guess they'd have to with only a two-week life expectancy. :P

CGS 2585C - Desktop/Internet Publishing
Another one of my favorite classes. The professor is pretty down-to-Earth and seems easy to talk to. There was also a 0cr lab on Fridays for this course, but since he wasn't assigned a TA and he teaches another class during that time he just told us that there won't be a lab. Instead he is using our Friday class time as the lab so if anyone needs any help with assignments or needs to review soemthing they can go to class on Fridays. But since there's no new info covered that day he told us that if we didn't need help then we can just not come. 8) We're learning about XHTML and CSS and the class is geared toward creation of webpages using those languages as well as proper presentation and the reasoning behind it. Pretty interesting stuff~

CHS 3501 Introduction to Forensic Science
This class is pretty awesome too~ Every week we have somebody come in a and talk abotu their job and whatnot. Last week we had a crime scene processor come in and talk about her job and tomorrow we'll have a fingerprints expert speak. :D

I was thinking about what I wanted to do after graduation with this degree and I really have no idea what to do. I was looking around and somehow came across the masters degree program page and found this page for science education for non-education majors. Looks interesting, but more school will make me baww so hard. 8(
