I thought I'd write again today, because the rest of the week will be busy for me. I mentioned my Bio midterm is friday - well im not too worried about it b/c it is by far my most interesting and fun class. It has a real fancy name: Molecular Genetic Analysis of Bacterial Pathogenesis, but it just means we're learning how bacteria cause disease in plants and animals (usually humans). It's a cozy class (just 10 students total) and though there are 3 professors depending on the day's lecture they all really know their stuff since they do research in the field and they're very funny. I find the topic interesting and Microbiology is currently my "specialization" within my major of biology. I also mentioned Study Abroad and I thought you all would like to know that I have a chance of going to Pune, India in September and be back for December, or Cape Town, South Africa in January-March. Both places sound like lots of fun and look beautiful, but it's very competitive even though they're only open to U of C kids. Hopefully I'll get in one of the programs! But it's not all homework, studying, and applying out here. Don't worry there's fun going on even if they say U of C is where "fun comes to die" - last night I went ice skating with friends and people from my dorm at the school's outdoor ice rink. You may never have thought of playing frisbee on ice, as I never had, but trust me - it's a lot fun Lastly, I'm trying to figure out a way to post a gallery of pictures on here or even just one or two in a blog. Maybe someone (most probably Uncle Mark - haha) could give me a little help. As for the blogs I've looked for this 'Options' at the top but I do not see it. Perhaps b/c I'm on a mac? I know once i figure it out I'll realize how simple it is. And I've looked at ' Gallery' and I don't know how I go about making a gallery there (I've got a login, but can't connect it with this site). I'm sure eventually I'll be able to put some stuff up! until then, lots of love
