Penguins!! And 10 Days

Howdy! Your blogger here at the biannual final exam study-fest.. and what a party it is. I had a pretty busy week.. turned in a Gerontology paper on Monday, took a chemistry test on Tuesday, and took a Calculus test on Friday. In my original schedule I have a final Physics test on Monday, but learned in class yesterday that my professor is only taking our best three test grades and dropping the lowest one. Luckily for me, I’m more than pleased with the three tests I have already taken, so I don’t have to take the final test! With this news, it’s all downhill from here as all I have left is four final exams.

Wednesday..

General Chemistry II @ 8:00 AM and Intro to Gerontology @ 11:30 AM

Next Monday..

Calculus II @ 8:00 AM

Next Tuesday..

Physics with Calculus I @ 11:30 AM

For anyone who is curious about my schedule.. no one probably!

Anyways, school has flown by this semester and with a little hard work this weekend and next week, I think I can pull of an acceptable GPA. Not really the highest numbers I was hoping for this semester (for a premed’s sake), but not bad at all.

Yesterday, my roommate, Matt, invited me to go with his honors Zoology class on their end of the semester field trip to the Columbia Zoo. Since there are only four people in his class, his professor insisted that they each bring a friend along. I’m so happy Matt asked me! We had a blast and experienced one of the coolest things: the professor knows a lot of the zoo keepers and got us in behind the scenes with the PENGUINS. We got to meet a lot of the penguins. They were friendlier (and smarter) than I imagined.
