Is off and rolling! Thank goodness because that means I'm closing in on being done with four years of college. After this semester, one full year of undergrad to go. Yippee!
I am taking five 300 level classes this semester. Four of them are microbiology classes and the other is a horticulture class. So far things are going well and I'm not overwhelmed. Right now people seem to think I'm crazy when I say I'm taking four microbiology classes. I just say I've got to do it and there is a lot of overlap in the material. I may change my tune on whether or not I am crazy for taking this class load in a month once exams and assignments start taking place, but oh well! I've got my schedule laid out and things look like they will be just fine.
Now I must do a little bragging about how last semester finished up for me. First, I'm glad it's over and it ended well. Second, my grades were probably the best they have been since my first semester at college. I got two "A's", one "A-", and one "B". Thirdly, this means I made the President's Honor Roll. I have officially made the honor roll all six semesters that I have taken classes at or through WSU. I'm really quite proud of myself because I know I have learned so much and have worked so hard.
I'm hoping this current semester will end as successfully as the last!
