Back to School...wait, what??

Yes, it's that time of year again, when Covenant students cram into a chapel to cheer for professors and listen to bagpipes, when squeals of reunion can be heard all over campus, and when seniors get a rude awakening as to how little time they have left, and how much they still have to do. :) Although, I think Abs said it best today when she said that she had senioritis in a good way, a way that caused her to want to enjoy every class, every moment she still had at school. I think that's a good reminder that senior year is not all about SIP...crud, I promised myself I wouldn't talk about that! Although, if anyone out there gets a brilliant idea for a biology SIP, please let me know ASAP. ;)
Classes should be really fun this year! I'm super excited about Genetics, the class I've been wanting to take since forever (i.e. freshman year)...should be a fair amount of work, but cool. Special Topics in Biology is going to cover vesicular transport in the Golgi body, which scares me a bit because I've never gone this in depth on anything, and I have to do 3 presentations throughout the semester, but I'm glad that I have to do all that since I'll have to do a lot of things like that in future work. Research with Dr. Zuidema is going to be a blast, particularly since this year I know where everything is and I know more about what I'm doing. :) Similarly, helping in the Biochem and Organic labs should be fun.
I was a bit sad yesterday when I realized that the next time we would hear the bagpipes playing like that would be at our graduation...yikes! Plus, it's the last convocation for the seniors...dang it, and I just finally memorized the words and alto part to All For Jesus!! :) Ah well, I suppose that's about it for now...more to come (possibly) as events warrant.
