Getting down to business.

I gave in... I've got a blog.

Who knows how much I'll use it?

Maybe never again after this post.
Maybe again tomorrow night -- before or after I study for my Biology Lab Midterm.

All I know is that I had trouble coming up with a title for this blog until I thought of the words that defined my high-school life... "Let's get down to business"

Until these five words escaped my lips that fateful November day in the (now nonexistent) Ursuline music room, I hadn't taken the plunge.

Now I was submerged.

After Ursuline musical try-outs in 2005, something changed.  I may not have noticed at the time, but looking back on it, if there was any pivotal moment in my early high-school carrier, it was then.  I jumped out of my lil' freshman self and let loose.  I had fun singing a song that I loved and showed myself having fun singing it to complete strangers and those complete strangers became some of my best friends.

Now I can go on to talk about all the other applications of "Let's get down to business" but it would take a long time.  So I'll just talk about how it applies to a Bio major (pre-med) at Notre Dame.

I am writing this blog post at 12:52 am Eastern Time (Notre Dame time) when I should be sleeping because I have a Chemistry lecture in seven and a half hours and a Handball class directly after that.  But after reading a tremendous post from one of my friend's blog, I have felt the desire to express my thoughts on a blog.  Being a Bio major is busy: 2 labs a week, 18+ credits, and of course the University required PE (where guys who need to prove something to themselves or the other girls in the class try extremely hard to be the best in which ever sport is being played, in my case handball).  It is one of the 2 hardest majors offered at Notre Dame and I'm thinking that it probably won't be the one I graduate with because quite honestly, I miss English class way too much.  I miss reading Shakespeare, Dante, and Aquinas.  So, I am thinking that next year I'll switch majors.
Why not next semester?
Because Intro to Bio is a 2 semester course and I might as well take it now and get it out of the way because I still want to be pre-med.

This has been a long post and I thank you for sticking with it.  I promise that the next post will "cut to the chase" and perhaps be entertaining.
