Back to School

The first few weeks of school have been hectic. My friend the first week of school was rushed to the emergency room on Wednessday, which had all of us worried. She is ok, though she gave us a scare. I went to all my classes and enjoyed being back, though the second semester starts up so fast. I was back in Chemistry doing equations and such and I was in zoology learning my structures of the cell all over again (I took AP Bio in highschool, so a lot of the things we are doing in the beginning is like a review). I love my honors courses, and if you ever are a student and are offered the honors program, take it. I have Professor Spoto for Academic Writing II and Professor Imperato for Christian Vision. Both classes are mainly led by discusions on what we have read and some of our philosophies on the subject. They require a lot of reading and papers, but they are worth taking.

Getting back into the swing of things means going back to work too. My sister and my father started an action photography business, CR Action Photo, and we mainly take soccer tournaments. Over the weekend I was back out there, in the cold in Fort Lauderdale, taking the DC cup, a small recreational tournament. I was freezing, but i have a lot of fun taking the pictures since soccer is one of my favorite sports. At school, I was back to work in the lab, washing glassware and preparing the laminations for zoology. Our department finally got a laminating machine, so now the zoology assistants are excitedly laminating every picture we have. Yes, we are a bit cheesey, but you have no idea how much this means to lab assistants that now we are more organized.

Overall, there is not too much going on quite yet exept a lot of work and school. But the rest of the time feels more promising, and so we will wait for things to pick up around here.
