She Works Hard for the Money/Grades

Right now I am studying for a Biology test. I have learned that water is just hydrogen bonds continually breaking and re-joining back together. So when we drink water, we are drinking constantly moving hydrogen bonds. Also, temperate forests face many problem-causing bugs and diseases that hail from Asia. Temperate grasslands struggle with major fires, but this causes really good soil. Rain forests are not a place I would want to live because they are very humid, have very poor soil, and hold a lot of animals. Deserts are caused mostly by Hadley Cells, which drop hot air right over the desert and that warm air sucks up all moisture. The plants are prepared for it though.

I am writing a paper for Intro to Islam about how Western view of Islam has changed since 9/11. I'm going to look at media representation, Orientalism, and American Islam. It should be interesting.

I had an Anthropology test last week. I really enjoy reading for Anthropology. Some of it is really boring, but the ethnography we read was really interesting even though I never want to go to Zambia and meet the Tonga people. I still learned some cool things.

Intro to Music is fine. Nothing major there. Just learning about disjunct and conjunct and major and minor and that sort of thing. We talked about Gregorian chants for a while. Now we're on the Baroque period.

I'm studying a lot, trying to stay on top of work. This last week and then this coming Monday have caused me a lot of work/stress, but then I should have two fairly easy weeks, which is nice! Especially because we have roommate contracts coming up, which will take some time. But I can't really complain about my classes, because although I don't like Bio I have a hilarious professor and although my Anthropology professor is unusual, I enjoy the reading. It all works out somehow!

P.S. For those of you wondering why I am writing this, it is for my father. Daddy complained that he never hears about me studying or what I'm learning. Personally, I think I share a lot about what I'm learning, just not what I'm learning academically. But here you go, Daddy. This is everything I am currently learning in school. Love you!
