There is not enough words for me to describe my philosophy class. For the most part it was really intresting because the teacher shared some of my beliefs. I have to admit though that the class did have its boring days. The reason for that was because we talked about the readings that we had for the night, which were pretty boring anyway. It is not the author I am criticing but what it was about at first. The class overall would be really easy if we did our work and had our attention on the teacher for the whole time. Besides on the boring days I knew that i was not the only one that wanted to fall asleep. Part of that was because the teacher was such a calm voice that it makes you drift away. He was really cool though, especially when he told stories. I would recommend this class to students that are really intreseted in poverty and genetics. I would say that it is definately not like high school because of the time you are in there and you are on your own to do the homework.

On Monday I was given the chance to meet with Sherman Petite, the recruitment person at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He spoke to a group of us about the seventeen different programs they offer. Mr. Petite also gave us some handouts that show the classes or degree you need to have before you participate in the program. A program of interest to me is the college of nursing because if I do choose to go into the medical field that would be my major. In the end of his presentation he handed us a paper that had how many students applied to UNMC and how many got accepted. It was the most interesting because out of 1373 applicants for the college of medicine only 121 made it to the class. I really enjoyed having him as a speaker although I have heard a couple of the subjects he talked about.
