Fascinated

Wow, what a whirlwind of a week. I can't believe it is late Friday night already. Sigh...

Classes have been great. Thanks to my gracious friends at work who covered me having to leave early, I arrived at class on time! This will have to continue for another 15weeks, however, so hopefully my schedule will continue to cooperate :-)

I get to play with real-live microscopes - Yeigh! I think I have waited my whole life to be in class where they teach you how to dissect things and look at them under magnification. I remember being home schooled and being jealous of my friends in public school who had biology classes and labs. I think I had to get by with a Fisher Price version. LOL. Not anymore man. I have the real deal. In both classes even!

I really like both instructors. My Micro teacher is pretty laid back and has a great sense of humor. He threatened to dance to any cell phone ringer tone that happened to go off in class. I might have to test that offer…He also combined all 16 Saturday labs into 4 all day Saturday labs, so now I have some free Saturdays that I didn’t expect to have. My A&P instructor is more serious, but she is an amazing lecturer and obviously has a thorough knowledge and passion in what she teaches. I suspect A & P will be a bit more challenging because of her testing style, but I think I will do well.

The human body is fascinating, even on a cellular level. I almost had tears come to my eyes while we were discussing the complexity of just the cellular wall! Indeed, we are fearfully and wonderfully made by a very imaginative Creator. I am pretty excited about these classes. I took a version of both Micro and A & P to get my LPN, but had to retake the "improved" version so they would apply to my RN. I don't regret either opportunity.

Math is going well. Working on slopes and y-intercepts. Not sure how that applies to anything in particular, but what the heck. It is kinda fun. I guess. When you really think about it…
