Week Number Fourteen- The End is Near

The days have flown by and at last the end draws near. I have survived this far. That sounds like a good start to a chapter or something. In a way, that’s what this entry signifies; the end of my semester of honors biology and the first half of my sophomore year. This class has been one of my favorite science classes of all time. Looking back on this semester, I have to say, all the projects were my favorite part. The biotechnology film was my absolute favorite with the collection project coming in second. Some assignments were kind of rough and some I enjoyed far more than others but that’s to be expected. Learning isn't always painless and carefree. Overall, I feel that I have learned a lot and I certainly hope that I can retain this knowledge to use in later classes. If I may, I would like to offer some advice to the biology students of the next semester and those thereafter. Always remember, 1) The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. 2) The “dropper” used in labs is called a pipette. 3) There will be pop quizzes and no, you can’t make them up and lastly 4) Don’t eat the corn.
