Another morning in New York City... 8 a.m. bio recitation today, 9-12 bio lab, and then a German midterm - thus begins another week at Macaulay Hunter. By the way, the Hunter German department is excellent, and the language is really easy and fun. Bio lab.. a bit pedantic but hey, you do learn some useful skills. Plus there's something fun and reminiscent of kid's chemistry kits about doing the "experiments."
Yesterday I went to an Honors Seminar Sophomore common event - Macaulay is always trying to foster cross campus activity at the lovely Macaulay brownstone on the upper West side. Since this semester's seminar is on Science and Technology in New York City, the common events are short guest lectures from various scientists. This one was with an astrophysicist from the Museum of Natural History and was fascinating and fun - we got to hear about intergalactic collisions and multiple infinities from someone who actually discovers these things! Macaulay really works hard to make their common events good and this time they definitely succeeded. And my extreme nerdiness may have also contributed to the fun of it... But I can definitely vouch for the fact that MHC Hunter is quite nerd-friendly.
And so it's off to class for me. Happy Monday!
Guys, I'm glad to see you doing this--it's a great idea! But why would you do this on blogger? We have the fantastic eportfolio system, you know. That's not just for classes, it's yours to use as you wish. Free, of course, and with way more themes and features than you get on blogger. And yes, you can set up your own group blog.
ReplyDeleteUp to you, of course, but I'm inviting you to export this one and import to the Macaulay eportfolios. I, or any of the ITFs, will be glad to help out!
