We're Halfway There!

Fortunately though, not yet living on a prayer.

...Yet.

Topping my to-do list for the last couple of years was "earn Biochem degree from Madison". Today, I can check that off. Handed in was the last assignment for the last class, a whopper of a lab report on ß-galactosidase. It's too bad, he's a hard working little enzyme, but often gets overshadowed on this campus by the BMoC, ADH. Anyway, all done with Kms, Vmaxes, Michaelis-Menten steady state kinetics...needless to say, I really enjoyed working on that for the last couple of days.


Still though, it's a nice feeling, having all that done! I really can't give the faculty here enough credit, it's a fantastic program. More than anything else, the courses I took for the degree I feel have prepared me more than anything else for the MSTP. I came in liking science, now I live it. And, I can say that truthfully.

Still though, we're not done just yet. At this point, it's all for show (no big). 2 more exams and a thesis from now I'll have a neat little stole with 3 cardinal bars on it. Really, it's just a handy little handle to grab and remind us to be humble. Honors students do need some reminding, after all.

Righty-oh, time to hit the books for a bit/enjoy this campus. 5 days left as a college student, time to finish right and make the most of it!
