Freshman Year: Spring Quarter Overview

What to write about:

• Finishing DnD campaign for the first year, being glad that people want to do another year of it.
• New quarter of classes: No Math for the first time in my life, which is good. First quarter of Physics, while the professor isn't that good, the class is mostly review and therefore very easy. Also first class in which I have a good friend in, very helpful, hopefully will find someone for my future biology course. Final quarter of gen-chem is a difficult one, labs are especially challenging, but still manage very well, excited to move on to biological sciences. Chinese is the unique one of the quarter: was planning on doing a full Chinese minor, but as I learned more about Honors and Biology, quickly learned that it wouldn't be possible. Still was nice to revive mandarin skills a bit.
• Kendo continued, began training in armor, had to deal with the challenges of moving and fighting in armor, but slowly became much more proficient. Finally, became closer to the club, went on several excursions and even camping trip
• Pen and Paper club not very interesting, until near the end of quarter. Invited to a meeting for anyone interested in becoming a officer, turns out the club is in desperate need of new officers. No idea if will have time for it, but hopefully will be able to contribute.
• CERT very active, several major events, including a long shift for relay for life. Learn a great deal of EMTs, very interested in getting trained.
• A bit of stress from trying to figure out long term plan, but finished quarter much more confident than when I started.
• Interesting event: got a house with 9 other guys, will greatly change my college life for next year.
