This is my first year at St. Norbert. I transferred from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I choose SNC because of its small campus and class size, and because of its small town atmosphere. Even though I only live about 10 minutes from campus, I still choose to live in the dorms so I can meet people and become involved on campus. I was involved in a lot of leadership activities at UW-L and I hope to do the same here. I am currently a biology major, in hopes of one day going on to dental school to become an orthodontist.

Same Old Things

There hasn’t been too much going on since the last time I wrote. Studying and working on the weekends still keeps me really busy. I have my first exam in genetics this week so I will be really busy preparing for that. I’m sure it will be very hard! Speaking of my genetics class, in lab right now we are mating fruit flies which is pretty interesting.
This weekend I have a CCHams dance. I’m so excited! They are usually a lot of fun! Besides that, I don’t have much else going on. I guess right now I’m just looking forward to spring break. I think it’s only about 30 days away! I don’t really have any plans for break. I will probably just try and get together with some of my friends from
La Crosse. Well, hopefully I will have more interesting things to talk about next time I write!

Spring Semester

02/05/08 at 01:18:45 pm

It’s hard to believe that we are already starting the third week of the second semester. My winter break went ridiculously fast because of having a J-term class, which by the way turned out very well. I am really glad I took it because it was a great way to get credits completed and a way for me not to be bored over break!
So anyways, now my spring semester is a different story. I am insanely busy already and loaded down with homework. I am taking three science courses: General Biology II, Organic Chemistry II, and Genetics along with a non-science course called Introduction to the Humanities through the Fine Arts. So to say the least I am very busy and the stress is starting to build, which is why I have tried really hard to make it to the gym at least 3-4 times a week. It’s a great tool for stress management.
On a happier note I am still involved with CCHams, a social group here on campus. We just had our initiation night last Friday so now I am an official hammer! It was a ton of fun and being in the group has been a great way to get to know people. Well anyways, I think I’m going to get back to some homework!
