I'm back with a not so exciting update. I don't think there's much to tell. I've been spending a lot of time studying chemistry (for all the good it's doing me), and just going about my normal stuff.
You know what the best thing about this semester is, though? Or at least one of the best things. I actually have home teachers! Granted, I've always had home teachers assigned to my apartment, but my first semester, they never came in the capacity of home teachers (and the few times they did come over at all for for FHE). This semester, they come every week; they're enthusiastic about it, and they're really sweet guys. They've pretty much challenged us to have something for them to do for us every week. They even found me a guy to help out with Chemistry! :-D
As far as classes go, I guess everything is going well. My favorite is my biology class: vertebrae and invertebrate zoology. The best part is lab. We get to dissect the animals we study in class. So far the best one has been a squid. That was way fun and cool. It's a good thing my lab partners weren't squeamish, though, because I was definitely poking and prodding around that thing. I actually dissected the eye and found the lens, which looked like a little pearl. I really wanted to keep it. And after lab, I had this crazy idea that I should have taken both and made earrings out of them :-P That would have been pretty sweet. Religion is right behind it, though. I'm taking the first half of the Doctrine and Covenants, and I love my teacher. He is hilarious! But more than that, he has some great doctrinal insights.
Well, I can't think really of anything else to write about. Just in case you were wondering:
Dates: 0
Boyfriends: 0
Marriage Proposals: 0
Ha ha. I know my school's reputation, and I just have to let you know from time to time ;-)
Ciao!
