Plant Biology

One of the classes I am taking this semester is called Plant Biology. In this course, you learn about plants, their parts, and their functions. It was not something that I was all that extremely excited to take, but it was the only option I had to finish my general education credits for my four year degree in this semester. Finishing them in this semester is something I wanted to do because then that’s one less thing to worry about in my final year. While the class contains somewhat boring information, there is some things that are kind of cool to know. This class also has a lab component in which you do 6 labs at home. I came to find that watching the plants grow and identifying their parts became easier. With one of the labs, I came to realize it’s a good thing that I’m no farmer because my bean seeds would just not grow. The teacher had told me to just let them be because Mother Nature has had a weird pattern that they just may take longer to grow. I think once your seeds mold that means they aren’t going to grow. I had to throw them away and now have to do an alternate assignment for those beans. I’m hoping the rest of my stuff keeps growing like it has so I don’t have to do too many alternate assignments. 

Winter or Spring??

For all the people wishing that spring was here today’s snow was definitely a step backward. It was funny to read all the posts on Facebook about the snow. Some people were really excited to get some fresh snow so they could get one last snowmobile ride in before winter’s end. Then you have the people like me that were super mad about this fresh snow. I was really hoping that Mother Nature would have made the weatherman look bad and prove him wrong, but so far she’s proved him right. I woke up this morning to about 6 inches of fresh snow. Although I do admit the clean, white snow looks a lot better than the dirty brown snow that we had left I still want spring. It is supposed to start in two days, but it sounds like it might have to wait a lot longer. I’m having major spring fever and want to bring out my shorts and flip flops to wear outside, but it has only been warmer for them a few days. Working at a school forces me to set the example in what to wear to school, so shorts are out of the question, but flip flops are something I would have normally broken out on those warm days. I really hope spring is coming soon because I’m sick of winter!!

Spring Break

Well Spring Break came and went. Even though my break wasn’t your typical break I managed to find some time for fun. I worked my normal hours at the school and the YMCA. It was nice to be able to be at work and not worry about homework. It would have been nice to have their spring break aligned with mine, but I’ll take what I can get. That just means when they have their break that I will have more time to put towards my school work and not worry about working. It will also be nice to sleep in a few extra days! With my extra time at night, I was able to spend some time with my baby, who is really my dog. He even turned one while I was over break. That was a little crazy to think about too. It seems like time has flown as we have almost had him for a whole year. It is only another 2 months until it is a whole year in which we have had him. I’m sure that time will too fly as the college semester is more than half over now too. I’m excited to start the next part of the semester and be one step closer to being finished with school!
