My classes:
Plan II SS 301 Psychology
Domjan is just a happy person and it makes this class quite enjoyable first thing in the morning. (I know you don't agree, RP--haha) I've never taken a psychology class and I'm quite excited about it. It's interesting huh--psychology is a mixture of hard science and observational human behavior. The course-load doesn't seem too heavy and all our tests and assignments are take home!
Plan II Math
Dr. Starbird is a baller! I totally watched a Calculus DVD series with him in it in High School and I've always wanted to take a class with him. I finally have the chance to and I'm loving it. Doing homework for this class is one of the highlights of the day. Wow, I am SUCH a nerd. But I love it! It really gets you thinking and I work with Sara and Katie. So I get to spend time with two people I didn't used to see so often and that's definitely a perk! On the first day of class he bet the class a dollar that two people in the class had to have the same birthday--and of course he won and he told us that he had a 98% probability of winning that bet (in a room of about 50 people).
History of American Medicine
I am totally obsessed with this prof! He is a Pulitzer Prize winner and he's not stuck-up and not boring. He has a slight sense of humor and he spends half the year teaching at NYU and the other half at UT. He's from Rutgers and is a historian by training. He switches between Cold War, Nazi, and Medical history. We only have class until March 8th and after that we meet with him individually every week to work on our research paper. I like the structure of the class and I am psyched about the books we're going to be reading.

Some pretty exciting news: I'm featured on the UT website with a student profile now! And on top of that, I am in the UT 2011-2012 Viewbook! [it's that little UT guide that all the prospective visitors to UT get when they come for a tour] And I'm on the page with the 3 most 'famous' Plan II students (I'm happy to say I've had classes with all of them): Marissa (Truman recipient), Dhananjay, and Grace (these 2 are Marshall Scholars)--I just have a quote, haha. [also, my pictures from the photo shoot are WAY awkward. I'm like Chandler from friends]

Haha it's only the pitch, not the attitude, I find disagreeable.
