OK so I don't really get that excited over finals. It is definitely a time to pause and reflect on how far I have come in my schooling and how far I still have to go. It is hard to believe I have already been in college for nearly 3 years. I have the majority of a General Science major completed and I have a Chemistry minor under my belt. Also as of this year I have taken on another major, Computer Science. I am getting used to college which is a very good thing considering I have slightly under a decade left to go. Yes, I am shooting for a PhD, probably in Bio-informatics.
You must be thinking, wow this guy loves school. Well, yes and no. I really like learning about things I am interested in. I love the college atmosphere. I absolutely hate doing assignments and required classes that I do not want to do. The only thing that keeps me going through those classes is the fact that they are needed to take the ones that I really want to take.
I really like Bio-informatics. I took up computer science after completing a biology course because I was introduced to Bio-informatics. However I went into the CIS (computer and information science) field knowing that it would be a good 2 years of prerequisite courses before I was eligible to get into my first class in Bio-informatics. I am almost one year into that goal now and the harder year lies ahead. I am not shooting blindly though. I study bio-informatics on my own and I volunteer in bio-informatics labs at the university when I can. It is really a fascinating field.
I guess I will quickly write about what exactly it was that got me hooked on bio-informatics in the first place. I was in my 3rd term of the "Foundations of Biology" sequence which is one of the
I could keep blogging on but I need to get ready for class now. More from me later on this and other topics.
