Mixed Bag of Nonsense

School started on Monday. I am taking quite the course load, a total of 7 classes to drive myself into the ground. Oh yes, I know that high school students also can have 6, or 7, or 8 classes every day. And I know that I don't have every class every day. In fact, for most days I don't have to get to school until 10:00 am. But in college, 7 classes is lot. Especially if three of those classes have labs to go with them. (Organic Chemistry, Physics, Animal Reproduction). So I attend about 14.5 hours a week in lectures and another 7 hours in lab. A week has about 168 hours to it. If you are supposed to spend 8 hours a day sleeping, that adds up to 56 hours a week. So, you're already down to only spending 112 hours awake every week.

As a college student, you are expected to spend 4 hours of studying for every 1 hour spent in class. For lectures alone that is a...

But I think I will miss their kindness, the jokes, and the strange would you rather questions that went on for hours. The animals. The animals weren't always nice, and I didn't often work directly with them. Nut I enjoyed watching them while I was waiting for a quarantine to be cleared. Especially the rabbits. They're like big balls of floof that make the cutest expressions. The work itself. Just that feeling of accomplishment when you got one task done and were able to move onto the next. Or when you are part of an assembly line of switching out a...
