Four down. Four to go.

Semesters, that is. It's kind of mind-boggling to think that college is half over for me. Granted there will probably be medical school or grad school in my future, it's still awesome/frightening to think about.

A random thought: how awesome would it be between undergrad and whatever comes after this is to take a year off and go work for a National Park? That would be pretty darned awesome, I tell you what.

This year, I'm cutting back on the classes, and increasing the life experience (because that's what the medical school advisor told me to do). I'm a Residential Advisor in the Ecology House, which isn't nearly as glamorous a position as one might think. It mostly involves being friends with everyone as part of the job, and a perplexing multitude of keys. I would put them all on one of those giant rings that janitors and prison guards get to carry around, but separation and secrecy are encouraged. So not giant rings for me this year.

Leo is large and whiney this year. He still has a repetoire of awesome guinea pig tricks, but I think what he really wants is a guinea pig-lady friend. Which he will not get, because I'm not ready for babies.

I have officially developed an obsession with The Office. I just felt like I should announce that somewhere.

And my lineup of classes include (but are not limited to... whatever that means):
Biochemistry
Nutritional and Physicochemical Aspects of Food
Social Inequalities in Health
Latin American Cities (more on this later)

... and possibly an ethics course if one of the above falls through. Only time will tell.
