Day 18

Today was so much better than yesterday, but still with its annoyances. It started off with me going to my first lab of the semester, an Animal Physiology lab 9am-12. It was a simple lab where we dropped rulers to test our reaction time to practice using t-tests and making graphs on Excel. The actual lab was actually fun, my partner was an Australian who found it extremely amusing that I was American and had an accent. But when we started the hour and a half of data analysis, our professor spent the entire time showing us how to graph on Excel. The. Entire. Time. To top it all off, the girl next to me was paying extreme attention because, as she told me, she's never used Excel in her life. How in the world could you be 19-20 years old and never use Excel for anything??

I got lunch at union center with miss lloyd before heading to the library to finish off my first assignment – due next Tuesday. It seems to be just me, but I do not have as much work as I had expected and that all the orientations had made me believe. Two of my classes don't even have textbooks, and one of my classes only has 3 assignments throughout the year, none of which seem all that challenging. At this point, it doesn't really look like any of my classes will be that big of a challenge, which worries me for when I come back to Wooster and I suddenly have to use my brain again. Well I guess I'd rather have less to do here than less to do at Wooster so I can actually spend my weekends doing fun stuff!

My second class was my first Human-Animal Interactions class, and it looks pretty easy, but SO interesting. We only have 4 labs throughout the semester which I thought was weird, and one of them isn't even a lab, it's just a speaker coming in, but the speakers sound awesome! The majority of the students in the class are pre-vet so I think it'll be tailored more for what we need, so one of our speakers is a veterinary scientist. The actual lecturer seems extremely laid back and fun too so I think I'll enjoy this class!

I spent the evening in watching Master Chef and The Renovators with the roommate. Practically a perfect Tuesday night! And tomorrow I don't have class until 11!
