The end is in sight!
... Or at least another false peak. We shall see.
Finals are less than 2 weeks out, at which point my life will be graciously handed back to me for a few brief weeks before school starts up again. That's just about enough time to do my Christmas shopping and say a quick hello to everyone.
Seriously though, next quarter should not be so difficult. Which is to say that I will no longer be in Complex Analysis. Is it that wrong that right now I'm ecstatic that this weeks homework only took me about 6 hours? I am actually starting to understand the subject, at least a little. I'm confident that what I'm experiencing is the mental equivalent of what a contortionist goes through when they are just starting out. Next quarter I also am also taking my first ever college level biology course! I am quite looking forward to it. Freshman chemistry this quarter has been a great laugh (ie, I am pretty much guaranteed to have the best grade in the class based on the midterm scores, and I spend about and hour a week on the homework and attend maybe half the lectures), and I think sophomore biology will be at about the same level. I remember how difficult freshman chemistry was as a freshman... It is still my worst grade in fact. Oh how two years of upper division undergraduate and one year of grad school changes things.
We are supposed to have some snow again here in the next couple of days. Missed the first one because it happened while I was sleeping. I miss the snow. Hopefully I will be able to make it up skiing this year.
