Monday was my first day of school. After seventeen first days, you would think I would be a pro at this, but no. It was nerve racking, confusing, and crazy. In fact, it took me three days to recover as you can see by the date of this post. I've been on co-op for six months, six months away from classes and homework and exams. School is not like riding a bike. Once you learn, you can forget.
I remember walking onto campus. I had a vague idea of my schedule, so I spend over half an hour looking for my first class. Molecular Ecology, was in the "Garden level", which is a new wing of classrooms. Apparently, my school considers an endungeoned basement a "garden". I had to walk through a parking lot, down two flights of stairs, through a long hallway, and a bare, white lounge. To say the least, it was creepy. Molecular Ecology wasn't creepy though. I like how it blends two disciplines, molecular biology and ecology, to discover new knowledge about the world. It's also being taught by the professor I work with, so...I have to do well.
After my one and only class, I went to the doctor to get the flu shot and some other shot. Blah.
Besides Molecular Ecology, I'm taking Entomology, Data Analysis, Forensic Science, and Senior Seminar. I must admit, I've been dreading my senior year and my future. However, one of the benefits is that I get to take classes I want to. I like Molecular Ecology; I like bugs; I like Forensic Science; I don't exactly like statistics but I understand why I need it. I hope this term goes somewhat well. If it was anything like my first day, it's going to be confusing and painful.
