My goal was to take my required statistics and chemistry II at the local community college in Raleigh, but I was only able to get into chemistry. So every Monday and Wednesday I am on campus from 8:15-1:25. The class is going well though! We have open note quizzes before each lab to make sure we've looked over the material and I've made 100s on all but one (which was an 80). We also have informal lab reports, which is good considering I haven't written a chemistry lab report since high school. The one formal report we had to do has already been done and my lab partner and I made a 100 on that. Next week is oral presentation week for the lab sections. I am doing my presentation on the chemistry of depression. It's got a nice biological aspect to it so that's why I picked it.

We had our first test a week ago and I made a little lower than I hoped but hopefully now I know how to better prepare myself and plan to go by my professor's office hours beforehand. My next exam is in two weeks so hopefully I can redeem myself. I'm thinking it should be easy to maintain an A average in lab and homework, so hopefully I can pull out a B!

I found this baby frog while out in the woods at my internship. I believe it is a leopard frog!

While working outside today, two of the volunteers told me they had found a baby box turtle at the top of the path they were clearing. I had them take me to the site so I could see if I could find it. I had no idea it would be so small! It's so cute! It's pretty small so I couldn't tell whether it was a male or female. Maybe we'll find him/her again soon!
