This week, we will be having back-to-back minilectures by two of the department's most engaging professors: Dr. Gragson, who had to postpone from a couple of weeks ago, and Dr. Kantorowski. Afterwards the three of us will talk briefly about research opportunities for students and answer any questions you might have on that topic.
The following Monday we will not have class as my proposed field trip did not quite gel. The timing isn't quite right anyways as I'm pretty certain many of you have exams the following day.
Following Thanksgiving break, Week 11, we will have our final meeting and view the results of our Digital Scavenger Hunt. I will be handing out information on that exercise, and assigning teams, during tomorrow night's meeting. Note: You must attend tomorrow's class to participate in the Hunt.
This week's questions:
- What country/countries [that you've never been to] would you most like to visit? Reasons?
- Have you learned anything in chem 101 this quarter? Other than making beer? :)
- What classes are you most looking forward to, and most dreading, in your future?
- Ask your own question of yourself: and then answer it! (In other words, tell us something about yourself we don't already know).

1) I'd love to go to Ireland. I have family there, I think it's gorgeous, and I've never been to Europe.
2) Besides learning how t make beer, I've learned a lot more about the career opportunities for chemists as well as the different branches of chemistry that I had no idea even existed.
3) I'm really not looking forward to any writing classes...I really despise writing.
4) I really have no idea what to ask myself...
1) The UK, because a lot of my friends have been there and say it's awesome, and Japan, just to say I've been.
2) I really learned a lot about the career fields I can pursue with a Biochem major, what they are and what they're like, etc.
3) OChem sounds like a pain, from what I've heard... Not at all looking forward to that. Or Bio, for that matter.
4) Did I have fun?
Hellz yeah!
1. I would love to travel around europe hiking a backpacking so where ever my feet take me would be awesome! I really have wanted to do this for a long time! I think I would live in Spain for a few years and I really want to go to Thailand and Australia would be awesome I love the beach and new things!
2. I have learned about Vampires and I think that is an awesome subject to study!
3. I am dreading O chem and P chem since they both seem hard and I am looking forward to Piano, Rodeo, and Ballet classes!
4. If you could have an dream career possible or not , what would it be and why? I really would like to be someone who gets to travel around the world and picks out the sets for movies! This would be awesome and definitely the best opportunity ever and I would get a lot of stamps on my Passport which is a life goal!
1) Austria, Syria, Turkey, and the rest of the Middle East because my best friend has family there (I wanted to go when I was 17, but my parents wouldn't let me. Now that I'm 18, though, hopefully I'll be able to go with her next time). All of Europe, I want to see as much as I can.
2) I've learned that a degree in chemistry does not limit you to working in a lab; there are many areas you can work in with a degree.
3)Im actually looking forward to O Chem, even though it sounds difficult, it sounds interesting. I'm not looking forward to history, I find it kind of boring, and every year we study the same subjects again, so I will probably learn something I've already studied.
