So, I'm back at school this summer doing my 3B term. I'm still in the process of switching out of the Science and Business program and hopefully into Biomedical Sciences or Honours Science. Well here's the program for the next four months:
BIOL 140L Intro Microbio Lab - Haven't had it yet, but heard the instructor can give tricky quizzes.
BIOL 241 Applied Microbiology - I LOVE how this is a survey course. Me being me, I'm not one for details but I like big picture stuff. Plus, my prof is awesome. She's extremely knowledgeable and makes a (potentially) boring subject interesting. Hope the lab isn't too much work...
BIOL 303 Intro Developmental Biology and Embryology - study of embryonic development, basically. My prof is the (in)famous Dragana Miskovic--heard she's scary and whatnot, but I actually like her. She's no nonsense and she throws in dry humour jokes. Love those (no sarcasm).
BIOL 308 Molecular Biology - Don't know if it's the nature of the course or if it's the prof, but I feel like we haven't done anything for two classes now. Bruce Wolff is also infamous for his boundless stores of knowledge to go with his brawn (sarcasm). Perhaps shrugging, going off topic, and ignoring bolded/capitalized terms in HIS OWN NOTES are the new signs of genius...? This is the only class I have trouble staying awake in.
CLAS 104 Classical Mythology - Learning about the Greek/Roman gods. Awesomeee! My only regret is that Persephone doesn't have her own Chapter in the textbook or is an area of emphasis in the course. Psh, their loss, Persephone. ;) The prof is nice though, and he makes it very interesting--then again, I can't decide whether credit is due to him or the actual course content. Only downside is that there is a lot of reading (i.e. 140 pages for the first week!!).
HRM 200 Basic Human Resources Management - Like the prof. She has a strong voice and seems like another no-nonsense prof. Don't like the fact that we have to do ASSIGNED team projects...always a risk in university because at least in high school, you know who you're dealing with right off the bat. Course seems straightforward, and to be honest, I chose it because it is a well known birdie at UW. :)
So I'm finished my Day 4 of school, and I've already been trying so hard to study and stay on top of healthy eating/living habits. Surprisingly, it's going well! Although, the last thing I've been doing is having fun. While going through the countless pages of reading assigned for all my courses, that's one of the many thoughts that I "iron-willedly" had to suppress from my mind in order to stay focused on the task at hand. I eventually unsuppressed it so I could write this little complaint.
I find it annoying and pointless if people describe themselves as "fun-loving" or "knows how to have fun". Makes me see them as pretentious and egocentric. After all, the descriptor "fun" is rather subjective in nature. Who isn't fun-loving? It just depends on what people find fun. Not to endorse it or anything (because I find it super lame and one of those comedies where I feel forced to laugh after not laughing for a looong time), but Dwight Schrute is a prime example of this phenomena. Normal things that his coworkers find "fun", he doesn't, and at first glance he seems like a grumpy "un-fun-loving" guy, but you start talking about potential customers, and he's all smiles and fuzzy peaches.
Anyway, all this reading has made me quite brain-tired, so I'm going to end my post here. The reading must go on.
P.S. Orange is my least favourite colour, and I'm not feeling too happy/great right now. Hence the font colour choice.
