class, work, meeting, repeat...

Physics: My professor is Greek, sometimes he spells things wrong, but for the most part he is just a lot of fun. My recitation TA is AWESOME, he is the best TA I've ever had. He answers my questions without giving me the answer but leading me there in a way that I can follow. My lab TA is another story, he doesn't speak very good English and he asks my questions back to me, grrrrr. Other than lab I am enjoying Physics, because I understand it. When I took it at RSHS I didn't understand at all.

Human Development: This is class isn't required for my major, but I thought it sounded like fun and lots of my friends took it and loved it. The materials are very interesting, but it is quite difficult. My prof usually teaches 300 or 400 level classes (this is HDFS 102) and she's never taught this class before.

O Chem: This class is really hard. Everything you've heard about it is true. It is just as difficult as general chemistry, but in a different way. But I did better on the first test than I ever did in gen chem so that is promising. I get to make margarine in lab this week, so that should be kinda fun.

Statistics: BORING. This class is taught by grad students, mine is this sweet guy with a super smooth voice. When he talks it is like he is reading a bed time story. My eyes glaze over and I almost fall asleep every class period. The homework for this class can be difficult because of the intense equations and graphs involved, but it is not too bad.

Contemporary issues in Food Science: This class only meets once a week, and we are not learning much. So far all we've talked about is ethics, it isn't even mildly interesting.

Working at the Dining center: I do dishes, toast buns, flip burgers, serve food, do laundry, clean bathrooms. I only get to work with food about half the time, but I am thankful to have a job.

Other: Food Science Club, Culinary Science Club, going to Bible Study, leading a Bible Study in my dorm, leading a small group at STA, and Bethesda Choir.
