If you ever decide to pull a stupid stunt, like myself along with 20-sum others, to go to college summer classes for English (albeit, a sophomore-level class), prepare to read until your eyes bleed. Oh, the inhumanity..

That's how long I have left of taking Literature classes.

Seriously, watching House actually helped me in my Biology lab today. My professor gave us a question saying, "Say a child was able to get their hands on some printer toner, and they drank some. Why is this dangerous, and what can they do prevent it?" I was able to explain what could happen and what should be done because of House. Getting some points right there.

My Biology lab professor is allowing me to do actual, legitimate research with him. The current project is how to kill off a plant infestation over a local lake. Probably not many of you have heard about the salvinia outbreak in Shreveport's Cross Lake. The plant is basically a parasite to the water, not the fish. It absorbs oxygen and nutrients at an fairly high rate. In essence, no oxygen/nutrients for algae to grow, no algae for small fish to eat, no small fish for big fish to eat. A total collapse of an ecosystem is inevitable because of one plant. He, along with a few other professors, are trying to figure out a way to eradicate the plant without harming the lake, but there are a couple of obstacles to overcome: - Can't use fungicides because it will kill the fish. - Can't "rake" the plant because it will grow back fast. - Funding. Man-power and cost efficiency are the problems, especially since the Louisiana legislation decided that education is not of a higher priority, so they cut the school's budget by a total of $8,700,000 by this coming June.... Thanks, guys... Oh, I hate making speeches., just so you wonderful people know.

To Whoever Invented Turn-in-online Math Homework...
Makutaman654 posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_109
Curse you. Why must you make life so overbearingly difficult!? Online math homework is a place where, for some unknown reason, you cannot express a fraction as a decimal. A place where, in order to show you've done your work, you must supply a "Certificate of Mastery" to an electricity-based grade book, never to know for sure that your work has been fully submitted. WHY!? -
The first time I've ever had a month off from classes. It was good, but tomorrow, classes start back up. I think I'm technically a sophomore now, according to the hours..
-
I made it.
-
It be done.

That is the last final ahead - Biology. I'm going to need a miracle to get through one of the hardest professor's finals tomorrow. It takes about 1 minute to read the question, about 2 minutes to think of an answer. He's said he puts about 150 questions for a 2 hour testing period. Fun fact - For a 62-question Biology exam, it took me 1 hour and 30 minutes.
-
Three to go.
-
I don't want them.

Is there such a thing? Why yes, there is! Biophilosophy is what I'm thinking about changing my major to. There may not be an actual degree for Biophilosophy, but another college in town has basically a "Create-your-own" degree program. These degrees are legitmately recognized, so there's no waste of time when someone goes through the program. Have you ever heard of a professor with a Biophilosophy degree/doctorate?
-
It starts Thursday, and I can't wait. This week I have NO tests, no major assignments due, no labs, nothing. Oh, the sweet taste of partial freedom.
-
Have you ever had a test that, even though you knew 99% of what was on it, you just couldn't finish it in the time given to take it? That happened to me for the first time. It took me 1 whole hour to NOT finish the test, even though I knew 99% of what was on it. I seriously think I have had more time to finish a standardized test than I did for this test.
-
I got out of my Biology lab an hour and half early today.. So from 3:30 (Central) to 5:59, I don't have class, but I have to stay because gas bills tend to go up from going back and forth from places.. I'm bored.
-
is the longest amount of time I've spent studying for a single test in a day. It still hasn't beat my record of studying for days-in-a-row though: 7 days. I have found my "recipe" for studying: ZuneWhiteboardMarkersEraserNotesBookRice Krispies (cereal) with a wee bit of sugar With this recipe, I was able to study over 2 chapters in Chemistry, and, as an added bonus, I can actually recall facts without going blank. I wonder if Wheaties would do better than Rice Krispies...

This is just a list of this week's schedule.. Write an essay, read an essay, and taken notes on said essay by tomorrow. Have my biology lab results graphed and formulated by Tuesday. Study for College Algebra test on Tuesday. Have my Chemistry lab results on paper by Thursday. Be ready for the 2nd Chemistry experiment on Thursday. Study for Chemistry test for next Monday. - Get an estimate on car hood installation, paint, and modifications. TOO MUCH TO DO
-
.. doesn't start until another hour. Lol.
-
Today was the first time I've been confused about Math in years... Seriously.. My Pre-Calculus professor basically obliterated all that was my Math knowledge in a matter of 50 minutes. That must be record time or something.

I seriously have 4 days 'till I'm done with Chem 121 Lab. The final exam has thirty-five questions, but each question is a percent of the grade. Miss one, that's one percent down. No pressure, right? I have a week until I'm done with the Chem 121 lecture class. The final consists of twenty-five questions, and just like the Lab exam - miss one, one percent down. I'm on the borderline of an A and a B, and that's bugging me. I want an A, badly. If I don't get an A, I'd be willing to take the class for a second time just to get the A. I need all the A's I can get to get into med school anyway.. I'm getting advised tomorrow for the Fall semester by one of the leaders of Science Research and Development. The guy's basically my key into med school. What LSUS does is once a Senior graduates and he is in the Pre-Med program, they bring you in front of the Science Education Board (basically every professor in the Science program) and evaluate whether or not you're ready. If you are, you get the thumbs up. If not, you go back to school the following Summer or Fall or however long it takes until they say you're good to go. I wish I could go see Transformers 2 this Wednesday, but that's one of my days for studying for the Lab Exam and Lecture Exam. Sleep time.. if I can go to sleep...

I got one in a week and a day.

And I'm rolling strong. Although, the chances of keeping a good grade has drop... significantly... since high school, I'm confident I can keep going. Just to let you guys know what it's like to go into college Chemistry course in 4 weeks. We just finished the 1st chapter; it's only been 2 days. We're going to start and finish the 2nd chapter tomorrow. This is my kind of speed.
-
'Till my first college class begins.
-
going to be hectic. I go to LSUS to go through Freshman orientation and register for Summer and Fall classes. So far, I'm going to have 18 hours for Fall. Minimum for full-time student is 12... I'm taking Chemistry in June and Western Civilization in July. Good bye, social life. I'll miss ya.

I am that. I have officially finished grade school. I am really going to miss that school. It's gonna be a change of pace, which will be a huge change. I've been going to the same school for 13 years. Only 5 years of my life was outside that school, and I hardly remember any of it. Now begins my 3 week summer vacation. I can relax. It's so weird. My friends that I've seen nearly every weekday, every year. I won't be seeing them. All 50+ (yeah, I was friends with literally everyone in my class) of them are going off to better things. I am too. I don't know how I'll mentally prepare myself for this huge change. It's been a good 13 years, which I hope to remember for the rest of my life.
