January Hours: 2
Total Semester Hours: 2
It is a surreal moment to finally be back studying for the Masters of Pharmacology program after nearly a whole month off! But as we start the second semester, it makes me upset that this is a beginning of the end moment. I am glad to have pushed through our first round of tests, and look forward to keeping my grade point average as high as possible this semester. I believe reproductive pharmacology will be an intriguing topic and I look forward to learning more about how pharmacology can play a role in aiding our reproductive systems.
Ever since I was in middle school, my Dad, brothers, and I would help pick up trash out of the ditches leading into our neighborhood that resides off a highway. I am grateful that my Dad made me get involved with helping our local community ever since a young age. For the month of January, my Dad and I completed our monthly cleanup of these ditches in our subdivision. Sometimes, we find a bunch of old and unique items that my Dad likes to research on (yes, I know it's slightly weird). For example, this month we found a Smirnoff glass container from 1959 and a beer bottle that dated back to 1961. It is oddly and strangely fascinating picking up trash that has been laying there for nearly half a century. However, this experience with my Dad is something I will always remember. We almost always have a few neighbors driving by thank us for our work and keeping our neighborhood clean, which provides me with a very gratifying feeling.
