On Monday, Wednesday, & Friday from 8:00-8:50 I have Human Systems Physiology. This class is going to be very interesting. The course it taught by three different professors, & each one only gives one exam. Dr. Donal Skinner, Dr. Margaret Flanigan, and Dr. Michael Dillion are the 3 professors. Dr. Skinner is the first professor to teach. At this point in time, the material he's teaching is review from Biology I and Animal Biology, so it isn't too difficult at the present time. This class is very interesting, and it is finally easy to see why this class is important for pharmacy school!
Next on Monday, Wednesday, & Friday from 9:00-9:50, I have Organic Chemistry II. It is taught by my same professor from last semester, Dr. Robert Corcoran. Sadly, this class is going to be my easiest class this semester (how very sad)! So far the beginning of this class is much easier then the beginning of Organic Chemistry I. I'm not sure if it is because I know what to expect, or if the class truly is easier. I have heard that it is easier then the first semester, but I've also heard the opposite as well. I guess I'll soon find out as the semester continues. I have my first exam on February 3rd.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday from 10:00-10:50 is Medical Microbiology. This is definitely going to be my most challenging class ever!! (According to Jason it's even harder then any of the classes in pharmacy school!) Dr. Dale Isaak is the professor. He is a very entertaining teacher. I also find this class extremely interesting, which will help with my dedication to study because I desperately need to. I also have an exam coming up in this class on February 2nd... this exam has 65 pages worth of information on it & I pretty much have to memorize all of it!
Although I only have 13 credits, each class has a laboratory to go along with it. My Med Micro lab is Tuesday & Thursday morning from 8:00-9:50. This lab is very laid back, and my T.A.s and supervisor are very cool. It is really cool to look at all the specimen underneath the microscope! One of my really good friends, Allen, is in my lab, and we are lab partners so it makes going to lab much better. It is going to be a fun lab....
Wednesday from 2:10-5:00 is my Organic Chemistry lab. Once again I also have a very nice T.A. Her name is Stephanie Lyden; her & I actually were General Chemistry T.A.s together last semester. I also have a friend in this lab. Her name is Sarah and we are lab partners. We actually messed up the first experiment already (what a great way to start the lab)! The lab last semester was pretty interesting, & I'm sure this one is going to be the same way. Lab is definitely the best part of the class!
Thursday afternoon is my Physiology lab from 1:10-3:40. I'm not sure how this lab is going to be because it hasn't started. Next week is the first time we meet. This lab is different than any other lab I've had. There are actually only 4 labs in the entire semester. The rest of the weeks are Tutorials, which are pretty much like practice tests. I can't wait for this lab to start so I can finally get into my full routine!!
I'm super nervous for this semester & just want it to be over already. Hopefully it'll go by quickly, & it can all be behind me!!

Oh Bethany, I feel for ya! When you showed a picture of that Med Micro book, it sent chills up and down my spine :) JK. You'll do great because you're awesome like that.
I miss you so much! This past couple of days I've been homesick for Laramie. Maybe it's all the snow we have here that reminds me of there. :)
I love you so much and am so proud of all your hard work. Keep it up girlfriend!
