I really need to start cracking down on my Biology paper, which is due a week from tomorrow (rough drafted). I have most of what I need for it, but not everything, yet. I also need to work on my Psychology paper, the rough draft of which is due at the end of the month--my sources are just finally arriving through inter-library loan.
All of my classes are interesting, which is good. Calculus is the only one that comes close to being boring (the lectures truly are)...it's math. I have a blast in my bio class, though. Psychology is very confusing (but very interesting), while Chemistry is just a breeze.
The social atmosphere here is a lot of fun, though. Houghton has students from quite a few countries, and is almost like a little international bubble within the USA. I'm in one of the Honors Programs--East Meets West, and we'll be studying the Balkans intensely, because it is there that Western culture clashes most strongly with Eastern culture. Roman Catholicism meets Eastern Orthodoxy meets Islam. The cultural mix is amazing. Anyway, after we spend all of our spring semester studying the Balkans, we're going to go there. And after we spend three weeks in the Balkans, they leave us in Venice to tour Europe for as long as we can afford before school starts again. I'm trying to arrange things with my two best friends so that we can have one final, awesome trip of epically amazing proportions before they're off to college too and we're all gone from Europe. So, I'm quite willing to find some way to skip the entire school year and just go straight to May-term and the summer.
Anyway, that was my intro post. Next time I'll probably comment on a song(s) or movie or something more normal. ^_^
