One down...
Well, got done with my first final earlier this morning in statistics. Didn't go too bad. I really stunk on the midterm for this class as I read way too much into the questions and in a panic state raced to finish them without totally reading what they wanted. This time I was much calmer, made sure to read everything, and at the same time not read too much into any of the questions. The minute I thought, 'Technically...' I made myself stop.
Statistics was fun though as there were some cool people that I made friends with in there, that hopefully I can stay moderately in touch with... Given the whole school mentality though I imagine I will lose touch fairly quickly. The teacher was really good also, I need to take one more semester (at least) of statistics and I think I will hold out to find when she is going to teach the class.
The next class... ICK!!! When I registered it was called Microbial Genetics... now it is some new / experimental approach to teaching genetic repair and maintenence or something like that. A whole bunch of teachers all flinging out little bits of information at us, most of them doing it quite badly. Having to memorize a very long list of protein functions and what pathway they are required for. Note, for the most part I don't actually have to understand the pathway, or know how or why it does what it does... Just have to memorize a long list of proteins. Bleah! Oh well, that one is on Thursday, then I am free!!!
Ah well... one quarter down... um... a heck of a lot of them to go!
