Good morning!
I am always filled with gratitude as I make my daily walk to the college of Optometry especially when I look up and see the Brutus with glasses shining between the trees. The sun seems to always be shining on him, and it just reminds me how blessed I am to be here.
I particularly enjoy my Friday morning walk because it gives me a chance to reflect on the past week. This past week I completed our independent study biochemistry class. The biochemistry course is an online course with modules and quizzes. Once all of the modules are complete, the final is offered every Monday. I appreciated that the course was independent because it is largely review, so we all were able to go at it at our own pace and get it done early.
This week I also had our first Fellowship of Christian Optometrists (FCO) lunch time devotional. The group started with a picnic at one of the professor’s houses. We also had our first official meeting where a graduate of the college came back to speak about her experience and how FCO shaped her career. I am really excited to be a part of FCO because it has allowed me to meet students from each class, and we have a lot of shared interests.
As for the rest of the week, it has been mostly just the usual classes and studying. I had one minor hiccup when I spilled tea on my laptop. While it was sad to make such an expensive mistake, it worked out because it happened at the end of the day, so I just had to go and buy a new one. If I lost my laptop at the start of the day, it would have made for a rough day. The majority of students use laptops and tablets to take notes, so having my laptop is crucial. I was also thankful because I use a cloud to save my notes, so I did not lose them.
As for the rest of today, I have scheduled to meet with my pathophysiology professor for office hours and then class.
Have a nice weekend!
