Second Day of Classes

So today was my second day of classes. Wow. It's one of the longest days I've had in a long time.

My moring started out with my cat vomiting. I cleaned that up and did the thing I had heard Dr. Chaille say time and time again. I took up his water and food, stuck him in my room and put his litter box in there. After that it was off to classes.

My first classes was the Dairy Products lab at 7:30 a.m. It wasn't too bad. We went over the coarse material then started in on a lab. We started the cheese making process. It was a colby type cheese. Of course all we had to do was heat the milk up, take the pH, add some cultures and let the machine do its thing.

Next was my Soil Sciences class. Once again, not too bad but it's gonna be a lot of work. After he introduced us to the coarse, Dr. Scoyoc started in on lecture. We learned about soil coloring and how you can tell if the soil is well draining or not by it. He told us about monolyths and how they are made. Dr. Scoyoc believes in hands on learning so most of our time will be spend in labs actually working with the stuff we talk about.

There was a one hour break after AGRY 255. I really don't like them. Especially if I have nothing I can do.

After my break I had my Food Science class. I have a feeling I'll have a lot of fun in this class and learn a lot and not just about the science of food. Curby (he doesn't like it when people call him doctor) stresses critical thinking and puts it into practice during class.

I had another one hour break after my FS 161 class. Once again.... BORING!

After my second one hour break I had my Dairy Products lecture. She didn't cover anything I didn't already know so it wasn't very interesting. I actually could have expanded on some of the things she was talking about. I'm kinda proud of myself for that, its proof I'm actually interested in dairy cattle and the industry cause I actually remembered stuff about it.

Then I had my Food Science discussion session. That was a lot of fun. Curby talked about what would be expected of us then started a discussion. I actually got to start the main discussion. I was so proud of myself! It was a lot of fun. I've learned that participating isn't all that horrible.

My final class of the day was EDCI 285A. I had something to do with diverstity and education. That was pretty fun too. We went over the coarse material then played a game. Our professor would say a topic and make catagories. We would then have to split ourselves into the catagory in which we felt we belonged. An example would be Trucks: Chevy/GMC, Dodge, Ford, Other. We had to go to the group we prefered. The exercise was ment to show us that diversity doesn't have to be about sex, religion, or race. We also had to introduce ourselves and say where we graduated from, the number of our graduating class, the diversity of our school/community, and any personal experience with diversity. It was pretty interesting. One guy came from a town that held the headquarters for the KKK.

My classes ended at 5:30 p.m.

I then went over to the Ice Cream Social and helped promote the Rodeo Club before coming home. I didn't get back until 7:30 p.m. Then I ate dinner, watched some Alton Brown, started writing this and after this is done I'm going to bed.

Good night!
