First Day of School

I was off to an early early (well relatively, since it's been a while since I've had to wake up early) start on my first day. Woke up at 6am and managed to squeeze in a little bit of a pep jog. I had to wait about 20 min or so though because it was still very dark :(

First class, Calc I (again). I found out toward the end of class that we in fact, start at 7am on Mondays, not 8am. My schedule says 8am, by the way. The prof explained that there were two sections that were combined, hence the time confusion.

I had Organic next. This is the beast of them all. I'm a bit worried because it's been about three years since I took Orgo I and knowing that info is quite crucial to doing well in Orgo II. I'm going to have to do a lot of relearning. Hey, whatever it takes, right?

The last class of the day was Comparative Zoology. Now, I've explained how I wound up in that class... first choice microbio, but I couldnt take it because I didnt have the necessary pre-reqs etc etc etc.... I'm not sure how I feel about porifera, but it is what it is. The prof is really nice though, so thats a huge plus. What really impressed me, however, was the fact that we had our class in one of the new snazzy computer rooms. So, each of us had our own desk with a computer. I thought it was great because I was able to keep the lecture notes on my screen as a reference.

Campus was chaos. Pure chaos. But then again, every campus is on the first day of school. Thankfully, I was able to navigate and weave my way through people with ease. I havent lost my touch. :)

They had a zillion booths set up in the student union area. Fraternities, sororities, roller hockey club, campus church group - you name it. My eyes zoomed in on the Kaplan Test Prep booth. I walked up to the guy and explained to him that I was interested in taking the MCAT and I wanted more info. A few minutes of convo later, I had signed up for the practice MCAT this saturday. It's going to be a dry run - no prep whatsoever. i"m not expecting to score a 38 or anything, I'm just hoping that with the basic knowledge I have at this point (and the knowledge that I actually remember,) I can land somewhere in the low 20's.

We shall see.
