Day 2

Woke up at 9:22, hit the snooze twice and got out of bed at 9:40 to shower. I find my hair takes longer to dry since its shorter.

BIOL0280: Introductory Biochemistry

Today was the first class for biochem with Prof Salomon and I enjoyed it very much. Not so much the material (which so far isn't bad because its an orgo/bio review) but for other reasons. First this professor is hilariousss. I recall him dancing when he said that we can download lectures onto our itunes. Also when describing the modern methods of finding an amino acid sequence of a protein, you "put it into a mass spec and give it an upper cut" with accompanying upper cut movements (twice). He enjoys saying "let it rip" when someone asks him a question. He also described leucine as quote, "leucine, valine on steroids" which made me chuckle. There are a TON of resources online for this class which is AWESOME and kinda excited to look through and use. I will have to read ahead for this class though since we have clicker quizzes which I will be pissed about if it brings down my grade. The material doesnt seem too bad so far but it will def get worse. Must work.

I decided not to take Pop, Politics and Patrician: Culture in Japan and the Koreas because I really enjoyed my classes yesterday and I have to take biochem as a required class soooo Tuesdays and Thursday will just have biochem summaries but I think there is enough ridiculousness in the class to fill it up.
