Midterms!

Sorry this is a little late guys, but I wanted to give a quick recap of midterms that were a little over a week ago....

Last week was midterms, and I had to take five tests! Ahhhhhh!! Two of them were in physical geology, one in the lecture portion of the class, and the other in the laboratory portion. Later that day was a French 2 exam, Oui Oui. One day later was the historical geology lecture exam. Then to finish off that hectic week was a microbiology exam. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms that are unicellular. Microbiology has many practical applications in today’s world. The lab portion of this class is also very interesting. The class grows cultures of different bacteria using different methods. The threat of contamination among the cultures is very high, so aseptic techniques must be used. These techniques prevent dust particles or any other contaminants to enter the area of growth, thus distorting the results. Needless to say I am definitely looking forward to spring break this upcoming week. I and a couple of my buddies of mine will be driving down to Panama City Beach this Friday. It should be a great time, and I am sure some memories will be made.
