Not a godd*mn thing! :-D I'm graduating in 5 weeks and I can't friggen wait. I did so many 19 credit hour semesters, it's going to be great to have nothing to do in the spring.
The downside: I'm having knee surgery in Jan so no skiing/snowboarding for me this winter 🙁
 
2nd semester bio's and first year chems.


i just decided to switch. and im taking trig. and two gen ed's, probably geology or some s.



yes, im a rookie.
 
oh yeah....well...I'm taking like 123908 credits:
biophysical microanalytic quantum chemistry: 230 credits
MD radiology: 1290 credits
proofing string theory: 21309 credits
graduate rocket science biology:12308 credits
and like 6 other courses, all with SUPER hard labs. I'm also doing a neurosurgery internship at JHU

1 - Physics Lab
4 - Anatomy

Taking it easy to study for MCAT
 
Econometric applications
Graduate level course on cancer

Intro to Anthropology

18 credit
 
medical genetics
inorganic chem
chem seminar
honors bio seminar
bio research
chem research
 
Since this semester is a complete joke to allow me to interview without worrying (Histology, Ecology, research, golf, and jogging :laugh:), this Spring I am taking:
Organic Evolution (3)
Physics II (4) - Saving it for my last semester, mainly because all Ill have to do is pass. I hate physics
Anatomy (4) - A complete joke, needed to get up to 12+ hours
Honors Seminar in Human Caring (3) - writing intensive seminar, only because I have to have it to graduate with Honors...
 
organic 2 + lab
anatomy and physiology
biological greek and latin
undergraduate research
journalism
and a random PE
 
Orgo 1
Professional writing
Memory & Cognition
Psych stats
13 credits
Should be fun.

Wreck 'em!

Organic Evolution sounds like a badass class; have you heard anything about the professor teaching it this semester?
 
Calculus 1
Organic 1
Bio 2

11 credits with only 1 lab (Bio). I'm signed up for the May 26 mcat, so I have to take it easy.
 
Differential equations I
Applied probability and statistics
Linear algebra
Organic chemistry II + lab

I also need to teach myself calculus III over the break and do a credit by examination so I can catch up.

Me too.

I can safely say I've learned almost nothing in organic I. I can kind of name compounds, identify some functional groups, do RS/EZ nomenclature, and I barely remember a few mechanisms and rules...that's about it, really. I don't know whether or laugh or cry at the absurdity of the class. The worst part is that I have like a B in the class (too high of a grade for knowing so little.)
 
Genetics
Biochem
Physics part 2
Some sort of economics
Microbiology TA
17 credits and no class on fridays. Obviously I could take more credits, but then I would lose my friday off. If I lost my friday off then I wouldn't be able to ski, and if I can't ski what is the point of all this school anyway?
 
Second semester Freshman...
Chem II w/Lab
Calc II
Microeconomics
American Lit
The Civil War

Dude, I feel the same way. My professor is a really cool guy and everything, but he can't lecture for ****. He just comes in, draws like 10 reactions, and that's it. Not much explanation with anything. Our homework is basically for brownie points; we get no feedback or explanations with the assignments at all. I would honestly kill for a B or above in this friggen class.
 
Badd***** Classes!

Lab in Human Brain Dissection
Research Development
Current Progressive Microbiology
Biochem 2
Non-Laboratory Independent Research
Pathogentic Microbiology
Path Micro Lab
 
Organic Chem II - 3 credits
Organic Lab - 2 credits
Physics II - 3 credits
Physics lab - 1 credit
Survey of Biochemistry + lab - 4 credits
Philosophy of Science - 3 credits

Little heavy for studying for the MCAT this next semester, but what can you do. :shrug:
 
Hopefully, it'll be:

Orgo II + lab - 4
Genetics + lab - 4
Systems Neuroscience - 3
Mosaic II (like English) - 3
Tap Dance - 2
Piano - 1

17 credits
 
Pharmacology (3)
Pathological Physiology (4)
Molecular Biology (4)
Creative Writing (3)
Research for Credit (1)

For a total of 16.
 
Bioinformatics (3 hours, for my major)
Public Health (3 hours, elective)
The Global Economy (3 hours, gen ed requirement)
Racquetball (1 hour, elective)
Golf (1 hour, elective)
Soccer (1 hour, elective)

I hope I can handle the stress :laugh:
 
BioChem
Environmental studies
Health effects of polutants
Calc 2 .... Been awhlie sense calc 1
Evolution

and two online classes at a local community college
 
12 credits - I had the option to graduate this semester, but I can't imagine spending a whole 7 months doing nothing. I only need a bio elective and the rest are random classes just so I can meet the minimum to be a full time student

Bio elective (3)
Watercoloring (3)
Nutrition and Physical Fitness (3)
Women and Contemporary Health (3)

I'm considering swapping out the last one for aquatics (swimming)...we'll see
