Week 2: Famous Last Words

-

My other classes are pretty good. I'm not too stressed right now as it is syllabus week. In Pathogenic Lab we did review of basic Microbiology techniques. I have been a MBIO lab every semester for awhile so it was a breeze. Although I do feel guilty because there are some people that really struggled with the basics. This same correlation happened in my Capstone class. There were some kids who couldn't gram stain or even see anything by navigating a microscope. In the Pathogenic Lab, I let this girl observe how I did quadrant streaks to get isolated colonies. I've done hundreds of these streaks and I don't know if they just dropped the ball on her training. In Capstone lab, I had to leave my microscope at one point while people walked by to see an example of things they should be observing. I thought these classes were going to be challenging, and I still think they are. However, I just think they are gonna progress really slow which is only mildly nerve racking. My Physiology of Microorganisms class isn't too bad. I have kept on track with my lectures and our first real content quiz is next Friday so I am a bit nervous. In my cognitive psychology class I am nervous. I have to write a discussion post and I feel like everything has to be perfect because I heard he is a harsh grader. I think I've rewritten it three times at this point. I am also taking Professional Development. The professor that teaches it this semester is also one I've taken before. We did an activity today where we got to meet different people in the class. I got to catch up with some friends in that class and I got to meet some other people.

Introduction to a my Simple Life

My name is Jessica and I am a senior majoring in Microbiology. A cool thing I like about my major is that microorganisms run the world; they're all around you and they're so diverse. A class I really enjoyed last semester  was Pathogenic Microorganisms and Infectious Diseases. I want to one day become a Physician Associate  and this class just fascinated me. We studied a lot of diseases and different microbes that could compromise  your health. The epidemiology of these pathogens fascinated  me and it was a one of a kind class. I currently work at a doctor's office right now as a medical assistant. I love my job and everyday is always a different day. H opefully  after I graduate I will be accepted into a program to get me closer to my goal.  I am the youngest of four which makes me the baby of the family. My parents both roughly have seven brothers and sisters. So my immediate and extended family are big. There is truly not a dull moment with my family and there is always

Week 3 Story: The Rejection

  There were once two kids who lived on the same street, Adam and Lilith. Their parents were all best friends and they were practical raised together. Both were raised to be intelligent and witty. Adam and Lilith's parents always joked that they were destined to be together. As they grew up Adam always demanded that he was better than Lilith since he was taller and faster than her. Lilith hated this. She always felt like she was destined for something bigger. When middle school time arrived, Adam and Lilith carpooled together since they lived so close. Everyone thought they were dating and in middle school this is a huge deal. As they continued to grow up the pressure to date just continued to increase.  Eventually, when they were both sixteen they dated. Adam with his pubscent mind thought he was the most popular and the best looking guy. All Adam's friends asked Adam when he was going to have sex with Lilith. Adam replied, "When she's lucky". Word got around to
