Another quarter has passed and a new one is about to begin in 3 days. I've learned more than I expected this quarter. Fell in love with physiology and more in love with gender studies (unfortunately fell out of love with chemistry).
This quarter's grades: 2 A's ...and a chem.
Lessons learned from this quarter (A lot of these are pretty "duh" but I needed to experience it for myself.):
- Don't be afraid to dispute exam/hw questions with professors. There's nothing to lose if I have the goods to back it up.
- Textbook only helps if there's something I am grossly confused about (or is specifically required). Otherwise, don't bother with it.
- All nighters don't really work for finals. I just end up all panicky and anxious. So... stop doing this.
- Office hours are a nice place to meet cute, smart boys.
Next quarter's classes, all upper division again:
- Excercise Metabolism
- Introduction to Nutrition and Metabolism (an online class!)
- Motor Learning and Sport Psychology
- Gender and Sexuality (anthro approach)
I'm pretty stoked to have classes that might have overlapping material (the two metabolism classes). I enjoy having the opportunity to integrate similar material from different sources. And I never thought I would be taking an upper div science course online, I wonder how this is going to work. I'm kind of liking the idea of getting to stay home, away from the spring rain, with a nice cup of team, sitting in on online office hour chats. Also excited to take another class with my women's studies professor from last quarter. She has renewed my faith in my ability to write in-class essays.
I know all this positivity and optimism is gonna be gone by the 3rd week of school so I'm going to bathe in it while I can. Yay school.
