Israel in the Summer

Had an informational meeting today about the summer study abroad program happening in Israel. And...a faculty member of the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities is doing a two-week environmental study course just before the Jewish Studies through Madison, which his wife runs. I know Eric through the Chautauqua and know Yael by reputation. Eric's starts June 9; Yael's June 27. It's another four credits worth of tuition and an additional program fee, but I get a larger scholarship automatically from the Jewish Studies department. And with Eric's program, we travel all around Israel instead of just all around Jerusalem. So. Yeah. I think that might be happening. I'm hoping to count Eric's session as an international development course...that would be good.

BS 148H Quiz

So...our pre-lecture quiz today was most definitely on what happens to testicular size and function under excessive exogenous hormone levels.
Crudely put, I just explained why men on steroids have tiny balls in class.
I love college.

MC 220 Midterm

3.7. YAY!

MMG 301 Quotation

Fantastic Definition: "synthetic chemical compound that does not naturally occur in nature." Are they naturally occurring in the synthetic world? Heehee.

He Loves Me!

So...Pollock told me and Mark to stay after REL 310 today. I, of course, spent five minutes fearing the worst. The worst turned out to be a request to join his Philosophy of Religion class in the spring...
Not that I can take it, of course. But it feels good to be loved.

REL 310 Paper

Becca=happy. Religious studies paper #2=98%. Haha, world!
Comment at the end: "This paper is too long! - Only because that's the only thing I can really think to complain about here."
So there, world.
(I'm particularly happy about this because we had a bit of a spat on Wednesday about my typing during a class movie. I was (usually) typing notes on the movie...) Of course, he graded this before the movie. But whatever.

All Saint's Day

Happy All Saint's Day, darlings. My trio during Communion went well; I didn't seriously screw the other two up. The choir sang an arrangement of "Amazing Grace" that was incredibly powerful and also went well. I had Matt's name read during the Role Call of the Saints...and managed not to bawl all through the anthem, which they of course scheduled immediately after reading the list of names.
