So here you are. And here we are. With everything you ever wanted to know about college, and then some. So whatever it is you’re curious about (school-related, please) ask away. Or search for it. Because here, you’ll hear it all first-hand from a group of us just living the dream. Welcome.
Well, I just spent the past week lying on a sandy beach, soaking up that warm Florida sunshine, so it was extremely hard to come back to Batesville and begin work this week. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always found something to occupy my summer break, whether it was babysitting, mowing yards, being our “housekeeper” (and getting paid for it), or working at a pharmacy. But this summer, I’m trying something a little different; I was given the opportunity to do research in Dr. Lindblom’s lab. The first few days of work have been tedious and trying at times, but I guess that’s to be expected at the beginning. Thankfully, I have an extremely patient lab partner who’s teaching me the ropes!

SendIf I had to pick one thing that I don’t like about college, it would be having to take finals. As much as I look forward to Christmas and summer break, I sometimes dread the approach of both because it reminds me that final exams lie in the near future. Some of my classmates may not detest finals to the degree that I do, but then again, they probably don’t procrastinate like I do, either. I have a tendency to put things off…when it comes to papers, lab reports, or final projects, I always think, “Oh, I’ll just work on it tomorrow.” Before I know it, all those “tomorrows” are gone, and it’s time to turn in all that stuff AND take final exams!

Basically, once I organized the keys, I had to try every key in every lock to make sure that they actually worked. Sounds like fun, huh? Really, it was kind of a pain in the butt, but it’s something that has to be done! I think I’ve gained a new appreciation for keys….
