Recent Happenings: Class Review

Lots of new things have been happening since the beginning of the month. Amazingly nothing has been too profound or difficult during this semester. Although some things have become and turned out to be quite difficult, I have managed to be able to handle it. The most difficult work has happened in my Cell Biology class and my Introduction to Human Geography class. Cell Biology is a tad bit difficult because we have to remember some of the most meticulous stuff to such a comprehensive degree that it demands that we study and go over it daily. There are study sessions for the class, but because of laziness, a lack of initiative and incentive (0.5 points on the test is sadly not that much of an incentive), but there isnt anything to go to them for. I have began to implement a plan to be able to go over this material daily for hours so that I can manage to handle the work and material. I do hope that I can get it all under control so then I can pass the test admirably. Introduction to human geography is mainly hard because of the fact that we have to memorize these tiny places all over the world and be able to remember their capitals and then their tidbits of knowledge. I may complain about it, but it really isnt that bad. If I remember it is only a tiny portion of the grade that doesnt really compute to anything that tragic. Especially considering all the other things that the class entails.

In my other classes we have done some phenomenal things. Today was the first time that I got up in front of the lecture class to work out a problem. Sadly to say I confused myself and didnt even manage to get past the first step because of the confusing way that people did their work. But nonetheless, it did pass the time and when the teacher worked it out I understood everything completely. So it was a win-win event. One of the major things that has happened in the class recently is that there have been several rising of talking and email sending about it. It was so bad at one point that the instructor had to get the teaching assistants to stand up and monitor the class at one point. We [the class] managed to calm down on that day and she hasnt had to do it again. When the student sent the email out, I responded back to it, urging her to tell the instructor, and I guess that she did.

For general reporting purposes we have done two labs in Chemistry lab. We have done the Acid Rain lab in which we produce Sulfuric, Nitric, and Sulfuric Acid and immerse those (along with Hydrochloric Acid) in water to produce Acid Rain. This week we have also done an experiment in which we have to discover the limiting reagent in the experiment with some green substance and other substance that makes it turn from green to purple. It is quite amazing really, I wish I had my camera in class. I need to start bringing it no doubt.

Outside of the class front, I continue to pursue exploring various campus groups. I have taken a sort of backseat role in some while increasing my participation in others. For example, I am now nearly at all of the Aletheia events with these awesome people who are all about loving people and bringing about God's Holy Word. They are quite nice and seem to be living like the bible says. As I have said I have been inspired many times by them. Well it is getting quite late and I have more homework to do, so until next time.
