Study! Study! Study!

Today has been yet another busy Tuesday. Since today is my long day, I always feel like all I do on Tuesdays is sit in lecture or work on homework (and somewhere in between). BIO lecture was pretty interesting, and I'm really enjoying the class thus far. We have our first test on Thursday, and I don't know what to expect, because every BIO class I've had at WSU, I usually think that I know everything that will be on the test and I'll do well, but then I either blank on answers, or realize that I didn't study what I needed to. I just got done taking a practice exam, and it seemed to make sense, but I also don't have the answers to the questions, so I have no clue if I am actually right with my answers. I think I'm going to go back through the questions and check with the book/lecture slides to see if I can find the right answers (and see if mine were right).

Calc wasn't bad, though we are now learning the short cuts for derivatives, which of course means that they are about to get really long and complicated. Math professors don't like to give away short cuts unless they absolutely have to in order to make their tests longer than one question. I imagine that this would probably have to happen with these future derivative problems in order for the students that have enough time to finish them. Ha! Oy vey!

BIO lab was pretty easy, but I tend to find the labs to be much easier than the tests in lecture. We got to play with some different bacteria, and see if we can grow them in a culture and figure out which ones are antibiotic resistant. We also looked at Malaria and sickle cell anemia bit too. It's pretty interesting stuff. Though Biology is a tough subject, it is very interesting to me, and that keeps me going with my classes. One day I'll actually get through it all and get that fancy piece of paper, though it's going to feel like forever until it happens. Ha!

Also, after class, I got a bit of studying done at Boston Stoker (my second home as of late), and then hit up a movie at The Neon with Meghan. We went and saw The Concert, and it was actually really good. It was much funnier than I thought it would be, and I would recommend it if you can find it playing. I love having The Neon in Dayton, because they bring in some movies that I wouldn't get a chance to see in theaters otherwise.

Now, I'm going to get back to studying for my BIO test. I am also burning more DVDs for the Bike & Build packages since I got some more addresses from folks. Hopefully I'll get these new ones sent out tomorrow or Thursday. Over half of the folks have received them so far, and everyone seems to enjoy them. I'm glad that I finally got motivated and started working on that and sending them out. It's always fun to watch the videos when I miss B&B, and I hope that everyone else has been able to enjoy them now too!
