Some new things that have happened since my last blog entry&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>About the bugs&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>I bought a butterfly net at an educational toy shop for my entomology class (choice between writing a <em>lab final<\/em> or doing an insect collection?

I also had my first <em>official<\/em> entomology lab today and it went fantastic.

Mostly because ecology is majorly kicking a lot of peoples&#8217; butts at the moment (last year, the midterm average was below 50% and had to be very scaled in order to get a 60% average). So I joined a study group &#8211; there&#8217;s 7 other people and we&#8217;re all pretty worried about ecology (hence the study group being formed) &#8211; so it&#8217;s pretty awesome, like-minded people who all offer a different perspective on the material. The nice thing about the ecology is that it&#8217;s mainly open-ended questions for the midterm and final &#8211; meaning as long as we can logically justify our answers, it&#8217;s okay. I think. I don&#8217;t know, ecology is a major pain right now. I mean, the material is <em>fascinating<\/em> (not as interesting as entomology though!) but it&#8217;s definitely a course that requires higher concept thinking than any other course that I&#8217;ve taken so far at the university level.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>About the new appreciation for Timmy&#8217;s&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>So I really only have one day a week that&#8217;s long right now (Wednesdays will be even longer, just three times a semester) and that&#8217;s Thursdays because I have early morning classes followed by a break, then another class, then a break and then a lab before I go home. So I now have a new appreciation for the only close place that serves food to those buildings where I have my lecture and lab in (besides a certain coffee shop that I loathe). Even though they serve coffee at Timmy&#8217;s, I must say that their sandwiches are delicious and their breakfast foods? <em>Wonderful<\/em>. Especially when I&#8217;m eating breakfast at 9:30 even though I&#8217;d been up since 6am. They have this lovely breakfast bagel sandwich, it&#8217;s bacon, egg, lettuce and tomato (with cheese!) and I had it on the cheese bagel. <em>Delicious<\/em>.
