The grades are in....

The title says it all. I am quite pleased this semester. I have made it to the Dean's list once again since Freshman year. I will get straight to the digits...err letters.

Chemistry 2 lecture: A

Chemistry 2 lab: A

Spanish 2: B

Psychology: A

Precalculus 1: A

I am taking Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 over the summer. It is not until the 2nd and 3rd term, but I'm getting a head start by prereading the material. Sam is also taking it in the same class as I am. I have to be honest, I am quite worried about the subjects and material that is ahead of me. All I hear are horror stories about Organic in the summer. But I keep telling myself that I can do it, which I really think I can. But here's the best part; My bud Sam is taking it as well. Every class that we take at the same time and hold study groups for we make A's. Okay, except one time. I made an 89 in Biology 2, but that was a fluke!

I will also be volunteering and shadowing during the next month as well. I still can't get this coming Fall semester off my mind. I'm taking 18 hours, according to my current schedule. They are not the easy classes that one can just get an A without hardly studying. They're the 300 and 400 level classes, except two of them which are Statistics and Freshman seminar. I have Rishabh to tutor me in Physics, and since he made a 103 in that class I'm not too worried about it. Genetics is kind of intimidating though. Other than that I think I'll be fine. Okay, I think I'm done reiterating the statement that I'll be okay. I'm going to get back to reading my Organic Chemistry textbook. Oh! One more thing. For Organic Chemistry I bought a few supplement books that I am going to try out. I bought:

Organic Chemistry I for dummies
Organic Chemistry as a second language
Pushing Electrons
and some kind of lab survival guide

I'll let you know how they work out to my advantage. Untill then, cheers!

Another semester gone by....

Yeah by the time I get into med school these kind blog posts will become cliche. So far I'm getting all A's except Spanish 2. It's going down hill in that class. I barely have a B and the exams are way too hard for an intro level course. Most of my classmates are even failing. Oh well, at least I have that rant out of the way. I registered for my classes for Fall 2008 and it looks quite busy. Here is the schedule:

MWF:
Biochemistry 1-1:50pm

MW:
Physics 1 2-3:15pm

M:
Chemical Literature 12-12:50pm

W:
Physics 1 lab 10-11:50am

TT:
Genetics 8-9:15am

TH:
Genetics lab 1:40-3:30pm

Precalculus 2 unregistered

Only 16 hours I know, but the Physics dept. at UTC is extremely challenging so if I want an A I need plenty of study time. I think this schedule will keep me more than busy.

They're trying to force me to take some kind of freshman seminar, and i'm a Sophmore taking 400 level courses. I guess I'll petition it and get it taken care of I suppose. Well it's 12am and I got class in the morning. Today I'm going to find out what I made on my Spanish 2 exam that I took yesterday. I hope I made a B or higher, but I'm not feeling very confident about it. I need to stop obsessing about it. Going to go watch some Scrubs I guess and fall asleep. I'll post an update when I get my grades to let my fans know how my semester went hehe. I am the underdog after all, so you gotta cheer for me, right? Bah lol.

After class tomorrow--err today... I'm going to meet up with another premed and play some tennis. Afterwards I'm going to study for my Chemistry 2 lab final that is this Thursday. Oh crap....did I just say finals? Oh well, looks like another semester has gone by....
