My genetics and Organic Chemistry classmates are very helpful and they help me understand the material. The professors are good at explaining things as well. Genetics lecture and lab as well as Organic Chemistry lecture and lab both have classmates helping each other even though the work is independently submitted helping each other in class has helped me build connections with my classmates and since my professors are good at explaining things I find that I have an easier time grasping the material. There is a lot of assignments since I am full-time this semester and have classes each day and an hour and thirty minute drive to and from campus but I think I’m doing okay. There are times when I will feel quite tired after the work and just need a break though. I think that I’m starting to pay more attention to my body’s health and if it’s tired or restless I will take a break and resume the work later and meditation has helped me focus better and sometimes when I feel doubts I will use mantras like “I’ll be okay, I can work through it.”
