First Week back...feels like study break!

Well I just had my first week of classes for term 2...but it feels like study break!
I'm already loving term two!!!!
I have 2 lectures on Monday, one on Tuesday, genetics meeting on Wednesday, 1 lecture on Thursday and Friday!
I am doing evolution, media studies and independent study paper in genetics! Really Awesome!
And can you believe it? This semester I have for the first time in my university career;
1. Not a single lab
2.Not a single topic test (assessment all on projects/assignments)
3.Only 1 exam at the end of the year
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel so free!!! It basically all involves just studying/researching in the library for genetics, media and evolution! (and going to class only 1-2hours a day!) I'm loving it sooo much!!!
Evolution is great and so is media!!!...but I'm still enjoying genetics the most!!! :) (high favouritism I know!)
Have almost finished preparing my genetics presentation on the Philadelphia chromosome and CML (chronic myeloid leukemia)!!! I loved researching CML soo much! It's just so fascinating!! I can't wait to do my presentation!

Have been studying evolution heaps too. We have to write an assay on an aspect of Charles Darwin's life or scientific work. Went to the library and got out 6 books on Charles Darwin. Have started reading them...2 down 4 to go!

On Monday I had evolution (10-11am) and media(4-6pm). Was good! In evolution we started with the basics so a lot of it I knew already. Spent the rest of the day studying in the library. Signed up for media tutorial, (Tuesday) evolution workshop (Tuesday). Great! Got media assignments but not due for ages! :)
On Tuesday had evolution and then spent the rest of the day in the library making evolution cue cards and working on genetics.
On Wednesday I spent the whole day in the library except for my genetics meeting at 4pm (yay genetics!).
On Thursday, had evolution and then spent the day in the library again! (I went back to my 9am-6pm habit of studying at uni, like I did during study break!)

Friday was the same as Thursday. Mum and Linda went to Mt Raupehu with Livia for the weekend. Melissa came over and stayed for the weekend! It was soo fun! We had the whole house all to ourselves! And I got heaps of work done on both my philadelphia and Darwin projects! :)
I feel like I have so much freedom now that I'm not taking a lab paper and don't have any lab reports to write each week! Yeaaa!!!! I really need a break from labs! And I have heaps of time to study independently at Uni!!! I love independent study! :) Hence when I said that it feels like study break!

And then tonight we went to the Chinese restaurant for dinner with Melissa's family! So great!
This has been such a great week!
