What I've Learned (Weeks 5-8)

What I’ve learned #2:

After the introduction of Classes, tests began piling up these four weeks. One important thing I’ve learned is to regularly look at syllabus for classes. It seems like a given, but as a warning, keep these things in mind, and always plan your weeks ahead of time. So…what have I learned since this last post that I wrote about this. I feel school occurs similar to a plateau. The beginning of school occurs with refreshing knowledge of how to yet again live away from home, how to live off campus, and what each class plans to teach the students and how the professor plans to accomplish his/her goal. The beginning of the year always brings excitement as to anticipating the unexpected. At this point in the semester, we have reached the half point in the semester. Essays written, tests graded, football games won and lost…no longer unexpected, everything from this point on could be anticipated. So, form this point I have come to several conclusions.

Allison’s ½ point conclusions:

1) Microwavable dinners are a gift from God. The adventure of cooking for oneself grows old…it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. 

2) English is a subjective subject. Best to try your best and give little room for nitpicking.

3)All science classes relate to each other. The advantage: information gets repeated which helps you remember

4) A lessen I learned from my Linear Algebra Professor, that I belief you can apply to all subjects: Mistakes allow for criticism which gives your future into someone else’s hands; be perfect and control your work. Something along those lines. Probably super corny. It sounded much better in his Japanese accent, but either way I think it’s a slightly nice thing to consider when completing an essay or doing a test.

5) The exact order in which lights turn from red to green that allows one to cross from the seven eleven to the Barnes and Noble

6)  How to convert a hyperlink into Quicktime movie

Now that I am halfway to finals, half way to transcript updates, and halfway to another end, I’ve learned about movies, the penalty of improper word choice, eigenvalues, polytene chromosomes, how to properly pipette serum into cells, and the dimension of a strand of DNA.
