Yay, school! ??.......

So, yeah, I am officially accepted to Texas A&M University in the Masters program in Biomedical Science. And I'm finding out that graduate school is a bit different from undergrad. First off, I'm gonna have a "committee" to guide me in picking classes and whatnot instead of an adviser, and I did not get to pick my classes or schedule at all for the first semester. I'm taking systemic vet physiology, 5 days a week in the morning, stats in research mwf in the morning, molecular biology of viruses, which is tba, and a one hour course which the guy described as an orientation class, but my schedule calls " educ. vet. med. bio. envir." ...... very non-descriptive, if you ask me. So, 12 hours total, no labs, and only 2 of the classes have a scheduled time so far. The other 2 I have to contact the professor before classes start to see where and when they meet. I hope that they are mwf, or 8am tues/thurs (and yes, I'm mildly crazy for wishing that), otherwise I will only be able to work lunches on the weekend, so I may not be able to keep my job. Although, if Marcus gets a really good job, maybe I won't really have to keep my job; I don't love it by any means, but it's an ok job with ok money.
