The Semester Moves Forward…
Seems like this semester just started and we’re already gearing up for finals! It’s crazy how fast it moves along - before I know it I will be in medical school. Ah - but first I need to conquer my finals. I’m starting off this semester with one “A” already secured (boy that feels great) - now I am finishing off the last of my courses at their most challenging times as well. I’ve gotten very used to my professors here and have enjoyed being in their courses so much. I will miss each of them separately for many different reasons. Dr. Hamlet is “my daily fix” since I have him every day being that I am in 2 of his courses simultaneously. He’s about the smartest person I know when it comes to chemistry, in short this man knows his stuff and another thing he knows is how to keep it at a level where you not only grasp what he is teaching - you appreciate it and all of life for that matter, since it begins with chemistry. Dr. Broen is awesome and upbeat and we can learn a never-ending array of biology from that man, especially at a molecular level, but we are on Bio 2 right now and that means the bigger systems. I love my email exchanges with both Dr. Hamlet and Dr. Broen as whenever I have a questions (outside of the classroom usually) about aspects of life or find something interesting to pass along - I feel free to fire away my email and share. I hope to continue that level of friendship even after I’ve moved on to university. Ms. Weems, our ASL professor is just an outright awesome person and teacher, she does such a complete job of teaching all about Deaf Culture and not just the basic sign language of the American Deaf (ASL). She’s really opened up my eyes to what it’s like to be Deaf in our society and made me realize, it’s not a handicap, it’s just a difference and it definitely should never be considered a barrier. Professor Riddle has been awesome with calculus, she’s truly a blessing. Dr. Puzziferro was an awesome instructor for the American Federal Government course I took and certainly has opened my eyes to much about our national government I wasn’t aware of and she made our course fun and exciting, certainly having that course right now in the midst of some of the most controversial heated campaigning didn’t hurt none either, all-in-all - it was a fun course for me, and hey, I got 100%! Okay… back to studying… so much still left to do!
