I'M DONE WITH MY TERM PAPER!
I'm done with semester number 6 in just a few days. And that is a strange feeling. I have 3 finals to go. 2 finals should be really simple. The other won't be that awful. I hope. It still shocks me that this is the penultimate year. Of degree number 1. I was never planning on finishing in four years.
I have really mixed feelings about my education here. Finishing in four years is great, but there are so many things I feel I should know, so many classes I think I should have taken. For example, I won't take the 2nd art history class, or anything relevant on international issues, or classical thought/culture/philosophy. No accounting (oops). No literature (oh the joys and sorrows of CLEP tests): I haven't read a novel in order to seriously analyze it since high school. I will take my one required US history class this summer and history of science in the spring...world history, nope. No religion classes. At least I have my 3 semesters of Spanish...that I have retained oh so well. I'm happy with the zoology program, for the most part. There's a lack of statistics, and I wish that bioethics could have been a smaller, separate class. I would have required more (non-business) calculus. Other than that, I don't have much of a problem with the degree requirements. Maybe I should have gone to a liberal arts college with lots of general education requirements. But what's done is done. I know I made the right choice coming here. But sometimes I wonder if I should have pursued a broader education on my own.
Ready for this semester to be over (especially this paper). It's hard to keep pushing and finish strong. But it's just a little more than a week. Very do-able.
Peace.
