My favorite class taken last semester was genetics. I was lucky enough to be exposed to genetics in high school and have loved dabbling with punnet squares & pedigree charts every since. If I am not able to attend medical school, I would look into becoming a genetic therapist. The biggest accomplishment with my classes from my previous semester would have to be the paper I wrote for genetics. It covered how a change in circadian rhythms can in turn affect metabolic processes in the body.
Outside of the classroom, the most interesting part of my semester was visiting Ireland over spring break. I was able to visit the Blarney Castle and kiss the Blarney stone. I have wanted to do this since I was in middle school. My friend and I stayed in Cork and Dublin while we were in Ireland. We were able to get a very cheap flight by flying out on St. Patrick's Day, ironically.
I have a huge place in my heart for animals, especially dogs. I have two dogs of my own, Jake and Jasmine. They live with my parents so I do not get to see them as often as I would like. However, nothing makes my day better than having two dogs run up to me when I walk in the room. My roommate and I have been discussing adopting a dog or cat, Hopefully there will be another pet to add to the list soon!
