Spring break is coming up and since the college semester started, I've been keeping busy.
This semester, I am taking horticulture, philosophy, mathematics, agricultural business, and continuing to independent research in entomology. In addition to work and classes, I've also been taking a quilting class every week. In my quilting class, I've been working on a quilted throw pillow to match our couch and loveseat. I will post photos of it once it is finished!
I am really enjoying my classes. I was hesitant about how I would do in my agricultural business class since I hadn't taken economics before. However, my professor made concepts really easy to understand and so I understood the material very well. If I had time to squeeze in a second minor, I would consider double minoring in agricultural business management and entomology. Math being my worst subject and having failed college math courses in the past, I was very apprehensive about my lower level math class. My math professor is excellent and I have been studying very hard in my math class. All my hard work paid of and I received a 75% on my first math exam. I couldn't believe it! My philosophy class is probably my least favorite but I am doing well in that class. My professor is very nice but philosophy just isn't something that catches my attention much. Sometimes, the material in class can be very confusing.
My horticulture class is quite interesting. I do really well on the quizzes and exams and the professor is very intelligent and also likes to throw funny personal stories into his lectures. During one lecture, he told us about how when he was an undergraduate, he and his classmates rented out a small plot of land to do some planting in. They started to dig out all the rocks in the plot to get the soil ready for planting. As they dug, they thought they hit this huge rock. Upon further investigation, this "rock" actually was a full beatle car. My professor later learned that the plot of land was right where an old junk yard used to be.
Entomology research is going quite well this semester. I've been learning a lot of material on insect taxonomy, extensive insect and arachnid anatomy, insect preservation and insects of forensic importance. Just last week, I pinned my very first insect!
