First day of classes

Well, as the title would suggest, I had my first classes today...actually I am still having them. 2 down 2 to go. I already have another to do list in the making. I completed the one from the last post though!
I had biology 112 this morning at 8:00 a.m. I LOVE my professor so far. She is really organized and has no foreign accent! And even though that may seem like a small detail, it really plays a big role. Last semester I had Dr. Wei Wan for biology...and as the name would suggest she had a very heavy accent and she hadn't completely mastered the English language. At first it was kind of funny, but then when we delved into more complicated material the humor evaporated. This class was summed up quite nicely in one sentence written by one student on pick-a-prof, "Have fun learning biology in CHINESE!" My biology professor for this semester (Dr. Vaughan) is a white American woman with a hint of a southern accent. She was all smiles and excited for class. Of course every biology class that I will take will discuss Darwinian Evolution. I'm cool with that, because evolution is legitimate! I just have issues with their "evolution genesis" as i like to call it, because I am a creationist. But the first thing Dr. Vaughan says is that she is an elder in her church and sings in the choir! She addressed the evolution topic saying that there is a way to have both, and that it is obvious that populations evolve, but this doesn't mean we must change our faith, and thus indirectly saying that she is not a believer in evolution genesis, but just the evolution process itself! HOW REFRESHING! She even said we can come to her office hours and talk about it if anyone should feel uncomfortable or wants to know more about how one can believe both evolution and creation. (although she never actually said the word "Creation". Smart woman.) Oh! and I turned in my bio sheet and got my 2 bonus points :)

Then I had my Math 131 class with Dr. Allen...annnnd...I LOVE HER TOO! She is young and cute and AMERICAN! No, I'm not looking to see if she's single or anything lol, but this finding a good professor thing is kind of like a dating life! The only thing with that class is I have to buy this code for the online homework...and the code costs 35$ (of course). And my graphing calculator is a Cassio and I need a TI 83 for the class...so there goes 100+$. oh and also, I lost my flash drive (or nerd stick as I like to call it) today...I keep it on my ID tag necklace thingie and I looked down at it at one point today and it was gone...so that means I lost all of my stuff from last semester...but at least I lost it early on in this semester so I didn't lose valuable files for this current semester!

I'm eating some fat free chocolate pudding right now :) its yummy.


anyways, let's start on that to do list:
1.Get a TI83 for math 131
2.Get access code for math 131
3.Print notes (e mailed) for math 131
4.Finish handout for math 131
5.Do the 3 tutorials for "webassign @ TAMU" for math 131

6.Get goggles for biol 112 lab
7.Print lecture notes (& learning objectives) for biol 112
8.Read ch. 22 pp. 452-467 for biol 112

9.Get a new nerd stick
10.Pick up perscription at HEB

My next class is at 1:50 and its History 105 and then I have my Theatre Arts class right after that! I'll let ya know how it goes!

I feel inspired to scrapbook something to do with your goggles! I know it's totally weird, but take some pic of those stinkin goggles and the geek stick too or nerd stick... crap I can't remember what you called it now. Whatever! I'm a picture junkie. That's all. I love you. Now that's really all.
