Week 5: October 20

It's hard to believe that we're in Week 5 already! Hopefully everyone is making the adjustment to the sometimes-crazy pacing of the quarter system. The wildly fluctuating weather is making everyone punchy I think, at least around the halls of the faculty building.

Tomorrow evening we'll start with our final installment of Meet the Faculty as well as have a loose discussion on the degree and concentration programs in the department. I'll be giving you the assignment I promised you last week and I hope to have a fun activity as well.

This week's questions. Please answer on this blog before class tomorrow:

a) What is your favorite class this quarter? (Just because you're in this major does not obligate you to say a CHEM class). 
b) How many other CHEM/BCHM majors do you know so far, roughly?
c) What is one of your guilty pleasures (a song, movie, TV show, etc you are embarrassed to admit you like)?

a) Math 142. Mostly because it is one of my few classes that I don't take in three-hour blocks, or have in stuffy lecture halls with around 100 other people. And I like calculus.

b) roughly, seven or eight.

c) South Park. I don't ever watch tv but every friday night I end up spending at least a couple hours online watching South Park episodes. That show rocks my world.

c) I love to sing in the shower! Even though I am terrible!

c) HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL!! :)

a) English 134. I have a really good teacher, and we spend most of our time writing as opposed to reading, which I really enjoy.

b) Probably about 10 or so.

c) My Chemical Romance. Im embarrassed to admit it, but I do like their music. And horror movies, I absolutely love them. House of 1000 Corpses and the Blair Witch Project are two of my favorites, even though most people think they're terrible movies.

a) I'm going to sound totally nerdy, but I actually really like Chem 127. That may be because I've already seen all the stuff we're doing now so I understand everything up to this point, but I also really do enjoy Chemistry.

b) Uuuummmmm I know maybe two or three, but they're just people I've sort of met randomly and talked to maybe once or twice.

c) Chocolate is my weakness. So are boy bands.

Anonymous said...

a) Chem 127 is actually my favorite class this quarter. Not like public speaking isn't extremely fun or anything...

c) America's Next Top Model. I don't know why I watch it..but I do.

b)i probably know 20 other chem/biochem majors

c)i do not have any guilty pleasures but one thing that i am ashamed to admit is that i hate the taste of chocolate
