A boring-ass picture from boring-ass biology lab
For the first time this whole semester, I read a chapter we were assigned to read out of my Mastering Biology textbook. I can’t stand biology. I find it incredibly boring. I know. I should stop– But, it’s just not my thing! A lot of people in my class seem to love it and are either premed, or biology majors. (I’m studying to become a registered dietitian).
Biology’s just not my cup of tea. In fact, it’s more like a cup of cyanide.
If you wanted to make me really sad, you could tell me I have to take microbiology and BIOL 172. Then, I’d be way sad… but fortunately for me, I don’t have to!! Yippee!!! I do have four more semesters of chemistry, which makes me happy! One of those courses is called “The Chemistry of Food” and is an FSHN course, so I don’t know how much actual Chemistry is involved there, but still.. I’m excited.
But yeah, like the title of this post was saying, I read the book… and for the first time, I did pretty well on the online quiz. My sister and my friend Rich each looked at me like I was a moron when I exclaimed how much easier the chapter quiz was after reading the book. Yes. We are on chapter 10, and no, I have not read an entire chapter out of that accursed book until this past Sunday. I hate biology.
It says a lot that I enjoy math more than biology this semester. But I do!!! I enjoy my professor’s cool animations on his powerpoints, the clicker games, the funny stories and jokes, and anecdotes. Yes, his humor is IN-CRE-DI-BLY DRY, but that’s what makes it so awesome! I especially loved the story about the catnip tree… (You had to be there). It’s so borderline bad, that I find myself manically amused. And it’s not easy to feel that way. Ever. Things like that don’t just happen!!! You can’t just have catnip trees without cats and you know… um…
I like math more than I like Biology. I like working out at the gym more than I like biology. You could offer to pay me $50K to change my major to Biology and I would throw that money back into your face and kick you. (Not hard, but I would have to kick you). If you read my blog you already know I like Chemistry. Not sure if that will change or not but so far, I enjoy it.
Seriously though, biology’s not so bad. I kinda liked the photosynthesis chapter that I read… I guess I will have to continue to read the book from here on out, now that I know it’s, you know.. helpful.
Yeah. This is an ode to my knuckle-headedness.
