Dear All

Yikes, I haven't blogged in forever. BUSY. C, great to hear the pounds keep comin off. Eye of the tiger!

Am in the library doing chemistry, getting ready for our first exam of the year in the subject this coming Tuesday. I actually feel pretty good, and know that if I just study consistently until Tuesday I should have no problems getting an excellent grade. However, bio is also coming up and it's a lot of memorization, as usual. We are doing 'formation of earth,' 'early life on earth,' that kind of stuff. It's cool, but tough to remember all the crazy names for those little single and multi-cellular creatures. We are also doing evolution. My fellow classmate Dave and I were contemplating the lack of representation of 'intelligent design' curriculum in our class, but decided not to raise the issue. ha. Our teacher is still bad, but makes me laugh with random references to Chairman Mao and how chinese people are good at math. i have all the same teachers this semester as last one, which is bad regarding bio but fortuitous regarding chemistry. As I have mentioned before, my chem professor is phenomenal.

Am currently shopping around for part time/full time summer jobs in labs and part time fall positions. Need money and experience. Coursework will not suffer if I work 10-15 hours a week. I got an email back from a neurosurgeon regarding work. He does neuronal death, regeneration, etc after surgery and traumatic brain injury. Cool stuff.

anyway, back to studying for me. Oh, yeah, Dad and I can take the train from Philly, or the bus. They just started a roundtrip bus service from 30th st station to penn station for $25!

love to all,
H
