New Plan: Become Famous. Get Honorary Degrees

Well, I have been offered an internship that  I don't think I'll be able to take now. I'm still pretty proud that they want me for the job though. It's pretty cool to say that I could be an intern for Five Rivers Metroparks. I've decided that I'm going to try to crank through this degree (and do well in my classes), and try to volunteer up at Cox Arboretum instead. I think that it would be nice to work up there in some capacity, but if I took a volunteer position, I would be able to set my own hours, which would be much better while taking classes. I've also decided that I'm going to try to take some of my physics classes this summer along with the first two classes in my inorganic chemistry sequence. If I can get the first two physics classes done this summer, I'll only have one more (to take in the fall), and I can add more Biology classes in place of where I was going to be taking physics. Also, if I can get the first two inorganic chemistry classes this summer, I'll only have one more inorganic Chem to take in the fall, and can either start taking my organic chem sequence in the winter and finish the last class the first part of the summer or start it in the spring and take the last two in the summer. It will all depend on if any of my upper level Bio classes will be offered over the summer. It appears that I have a few extra Bio classes than I thought, so I'm trying to figure out a way that I can still, hopefully, be done in about two years. I think I may need to go to an advisor soon and see if we can plan it all out so I have a better idea. The whole "switching to semesters" in Fall 2012 is what I'm worried about, not sure how that is going to mess things up. 

Funnily enough, out of curiosity, I looked at my old school's BIS program (Bachelors in Integrative Studies), and I'm pretty sure I could finish that by the end of next summer if I used my art classes as my second concentration. All I would really have to do is take the three BIS classes, and a few upper level Bio classes. That will probably hang out in the back of my head, because I would really like to be done with my Bachelor's degree finally, but I doubt I'll go back there, because I'm not sure how well that degree would really help me get a job. 

Besides internship and college future stuff, I had my first Calculus quiz today. We didn't get the quiz until late in the class, so my professor made it open note/open book. Luckily the question was something that I pretty much knew what I was doing, but I just hope that I didn't mess up the algebra. I know I rushed through it, since we didn't have much time, so I'm not sure if I did things exactly right. I was glad to see that it wasn't anything too terribly hard though, so maybe I'm doing things the right way in the class. We also started actual calculus today, and started discussing "limits". The topic was actually fairly interesting, so maybe this class will be fun once we get further into the actual calculus part. It would definitely make the class a lot more bearable if it was interesting to me. But now, I should probably work on getting some food in my belly, and then work on some calculus homework and read for my Biology class tomorrow. Until next time...
