I'm back!!! at UMBC that is
Wow, these first couple weeks of school have been absolutely crazy and pretty amazing at the same time. With 19 credits this semester my schedule seems pretty daunting at times but it's not as bad as everyone here likes to joke that it is. 8am phyisics is probably my least favorite class but then I was never much of a fan of physics anyhow. But as a bonus Matt is in that class with me and he always saves me a seat which I think is pretty awesome. Physics discussion is a little weirder this semester since it's two hours now and the grad student TA is heavily accented, luckily the undergrad TAs are very helpful in translating LOL. Orgo isn't too bad and we work in groups in class so it's like having a built in study group. I work with two other girls and they are both really nice and we work really well together. I've only had one Chem lab so far (my second is this morning) but it doesn't seem like it will be too difficult and waking up at 7 for it isn't too bad either.The only downside is labs take longer this semester so it's more likely that we will actually be in the lab the full four hours. Calc 2 isn't as bad this semester, I like the professor a lot more and she's much easier to understand than Kapoor. Plus this time we have discussion two days a week for an hour each time which I think is more helpful. Bioethics is amazing and I love sitting there and arguing with everyone. My professor is prety young (and pretty cute) and I really think I'm going to love this class. Plus I'm thinking about minoring in Philosophy since you only need 6 classes for a minor in it and I really do love it. Anatomy is pretty fun and I love the fact that my professors teaching style and mannerisms are a lot like Mrs. Shaner's. We aren't really covering too much more than what I already know from having taken Shaner's class.
I'm branching out a little more this year organization wise. I'm doing Habitat for Humanity with Michele and I'm part of the pre-med society, chemistry and biochemistry council of majors, american chemical society student affiliates, and I was recently elected President of Patapsco's Community Action Board. Plus me and Michele are running twice a week and going to the gym for yoga/pilates every Wednesday with Caroline and Lauren and we're considering doing Ballroom dancing lessons. Hopefully next semester we'll be part of the UMBC crew team. All in all it has been a pretty busy and crazy first couple weeks but things are falling into a routine and I have a feeling that this is going to be a great semester.
I'm now obsessed with this band and song:
I've been reaching for the stars
I've been stretching out so far
Am I getting any closer?
Then I've ever been before
Rise, rise, like a star you will rise
