This week in biology has been really good. We presenting our cell models yesterday and I made a 95 so I'm really proud of myself. I need to work on my public speaking skills though because I was really nervous presenting. We took our first exam today and I made a 98 so that was awesome. I can't wait for our lab tomorrow because they are always fun. Overall I've had a really good week in biology.

This week in biology we learned more about enzymes and cellular respiration and photosynthesis. We did a really cool lab where we took a piece of chicken liver and put it into hydrogen peroxide. I thought this was really cool because the enzyme in the liver, catalase, turned the peroxide into just water. I really liked doing that and I hope we get to more labs like that. We have our first test on Monday and I'm a little nervous but I think I will do okay because I've been studying. I'm hoping it won't be too hard but I'm sure it probably will be. We also have our first project due Tuesday and I'm having fun with it. I'm almost completely finished with it and I think I've done a good job with it. The only part I'm nervous about is the speaking part because I get nervous talking in front of people.

These past couple of weeks we have been learning about proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. We had our first quiz today and I didn't do too bad on it but I would've liked to make an A instead of a B. I realize that I'm going to have to actually start studying now instead of thinking I'll do fine without it. I'm going to have to work a lot harder in this class than I've had to before. We have our first project due on the 18th but I haven't worked on it yet (I should probably start doing that), I'm going to get all my supplies this weekend at Michael's in Winston so I'm going to start doing my research for what cell I want to do and the type of model I'm going to do. I'm hoping I will end up making a final grade of an A in this class.
