New Semester

So I would like to take a moment to explain why I have not written a post in a good two weeks. First of all I spent the last week or so of my break reading Harry Potter and working on piecing two quilts for my sister. I am just starting off in the quilting hobby and I am loving it. These are the second and third quilts I have ever done with the first one being a queen size log cabin star scrap quilt I did for my room this past summer.

However the main reason I have not been able to blog as much as I would like is that my spring semester has started. Unlike my fall semester that was rather easy, not as easy as high school but all in all not bad, this semester has been a lot of work and I am only still in the first week of classes.

So why is this semester been so difficult and even at such an early part of the semester. I am currently taking a full 18 credits. With ten of these credits being honors based. For anyone who is not sure the honors program classes are not always harder than the regular counterparts but rather are more work and effort intensive. In addition to these honors classes I have Molecular and Cellular Biology and interesting class that will be great but will be a lot of work, mainly because I have a tough professor. My last class is more of a chill psychology class that is in my major which shall be fun.

While I have loads more work and am starting to find a love for coffee, I am really enjoying this semester. The honors course are all rather interesting and I love the fact that they make you think. You are held at a higher standard something that forces you to work at a higher standard. I love that. Most of these classes are seminar or discussion based learning with lecture of course. That is also another way that forces you to think. So while I am staying up til midnight or later doing work I am really enjoying this semester.

So enough about me. I would like to in the not to distant future add more the this blog about things I am doing like projects and books I have read. There will be a post or a series of posts that will come out about Harry Potter since I have know joined the fandom. (PS. I got sorted into Ravenclaw).

So look forward into the future of many thought provoking posts coming from books and or honors discussions. :)
