Kickin my can

September was back to school time for me and for some reason this semester is kickin my can! I have been going to school part time for years now. The last year and a half I have been taking between 10-12 credits each semester and have been able to manage it ok. This semester, not so graceful.

Currently, I am taking Biology, Biopsychology, Computer Science and a Library Info Systems Class. My CS and LIS classes are fine...the other two are pretty study intensive and eat up most of my time. I have always loved science and done pretty well at it. I am finding, however, that it is more difficult teaching myself science than I anticipated. (I am taking these classes online). I find myself wishing that I had the professor/classmates to interact with and cell models to play with in class, etc.


It has made life around the house a little more interesting and a bit cluttered. My kitchen has become a scientist lab. Everynight Weston comes home to test tubes, chemicals and experiments all over the place. I haven't blown anything up yet but I did suffer a mild burn a few days ago. No worries, nothing a little ice and solarcaine can't fix.

You're so studious!! So when it your projected graduation date and degree. What are you getting a PhD or something. I have to say I am a little jealous...every once in a while I wish I could do a calculus problem or analyze a chemical equation, especially after Elder Scott's talk in General Conference. Keep up the good work!

k- Thanks, although I am not sure if I would use the word studious...most days I think I am stupidous. Anyways, it gets a bit stressful at times but I seem to be managing. Anyways, I'm still working on the BA in psychology. Whe Hoo! PHD will have to be a while.

Wow! I'm impressed. Good for you. All that, and blogging too. :) How are your bugs?

P- Thank goodness I haven't had any more roaches or snakes in the house. I have seen a few in my garage, though.

I did catch a gecko in the house 2 days ago. I put in Warrens bug box and so far he hasn't been let loose.

How 'bout you...any more mice?
