Just a Quick Post

I'm studying for two exams this week so I don't have much time for blogging, but I wanted to tell you all about a movie on HBO right now called "Temple Grandin". It is about an autistic woman who was able to get through college (I think she even got her Doctorate) and became instrumental in the designs of American slaughter houses. I was fortunate enough to see her speek at an alpaca conference a few years ago; it is something I will never forget. The movie is a must see for everybody.

Back to my Chemistry homework.

Happy Valentine's Day

We get rainbows quite often, but a double one is pretty rare. The photo doesn't do this one justice.

School has been going well again this term. My classes are Anatomy and Physiology 2 and Chemistry 104. This is my first real Chemistry class and it is so much fun. My favorite part has been balancing equations and calculations. I've always loved math. The S'mores lab we did Thursday was fun too.

In A & P our labs are always interesting. So far this term we dissected sheep brains, a cow eye ball, and a cow heart. Friday we ran EKG's on ourselves. The eye balls were the most interesting to me. We've had two exams so far; one on the nervous system and one on special senses. Our next one covers the heart and cardiovascular system.

I'm already registered for next term. I got into the A & P 3 class I wanted and I signed up for Off Loom Fibers to get some Art credits. I'm not sure I'll like the Art class since the focus is on radical stitches. I'm not a radical person at all, but I need an Art class and the Silk Screen filled before I could sign up.

We watched a really good movie yesterday called The Soloist.

Which reminds me: While we were watching the movie my father-in-law unexpectedly drives up with a German chocolate cake from The Muffin Mill that had "Happy Valentine's Day, Tammy" written on it. If you ever have the chance to try their German chocolate cake you won't regret it; it's the best I've ever had.
