The first day of Biology went surprisingly well.
The instructor seems to be an amiable sort of man. Inclined towards endlessly rambling, but nice, just the same. Perhaps even a little lenient, although I'll have to take the first exam to know for sure. There are very few undergraduates in the course, most of the members being post-baccalaureates like myself, which means that mostly everyone will take the course seriously. The text is more-or-less the same as the one that I used for my very first Biology course, which means that I will save a bit of money where books are concerned, and it so happens that my teaching assistant is the same as well. While he is far too focused on using silly computer programs, and while taking a lab with him requires almost as much work as three courses, he can almost be considered an old friend-and I am more than familiar with his teaching style. Also, having evening courses means that I do not need to purchase a parking pass-which saves even more money (and means that I can park closer to campus). Finally, I have the day off next Monday-which will mean a lovely four-day weekend.
There are a few not-so-wonderful things about the class, such as the fact that a few of my old fairweather friends from Organic Chemistry are taking it, (and are as warm and inviting as they ever were, stuck-up prats) but I will not dwell on any of that right now. I am too tired.
Besides, I have even more good news. I have found and fallen madly in love with a new doctor. Well, not in love in the romantic sense, but he is just about the nicest man ever to prescribe my medication-and not only does he respect my intelligence, but he allows me to be an active participant in my medical treatment. He trusts my judgement (which cannot be said for my dermatologist, whom I have recently sacked). Furthermore, he seems to be smarter than all of my past doctors combined-but is not prone to prattling on just to hear the sound of his own voice. The beginning of a wonderful medical relationship, I hope.
