... I have a propensity for organic chemistry. I just find it rather easy. We had an exam yesterday, and I was done in 45 minutes. When I stood up to hand in the test, I think I heard someone say, "Are you serious?" My lab partner called me at 9:30 (I was done with the exam at 6:45) to ask where I went. He thought I had just left without taking the exam! He had just finished taking the test, and almost half the class was still there. I don't know what I got on the test, but I'm pretty sure I got an A.
Precalculus is also going well. We had an exam last week, and I received a 96% on it. The professor was much more pleased about the grades on this one... guess a lot of people are improving.
Sigh, biology. It's a subject that really fascinates me, but the whole memorization thing is just beyond me. I'd really like to major in something biology-related, but if I'm going to continue to just pull a bunch of Cs, there's no point, is there? I found a program at a school close by called Villanova. It's a 5-year BS/MS biology program that concentrates quite a bit on research, which is what really appeals to me. I'd love to do something like that... however, Villanova (like 99% of the schools around here) is expensive--$38k/year.
I sometimes feel like I have no options around here. Penn State has a campus near here... but they only have biology programs; no chemistry (not that I've made my mind up about what to major in anyway...). Plus, what can I really do with a chemistry degree? Teaching is not my thing.

pharmaceuticals? bioengineering? google it! ;-)
I've considered both! I've heard bioengineering is a hot topic... question is, do I stick with what I love or what I'm good at? :)
