It's hard to believe that my second year at UT Dallas is almost halfway over already. Midterms just ended, and that realization came to me in tandem with the relief that comes with finally (finally!) being done with exams. For our sociology class this semester, our midterm exam was a paper wherein we had to choose a character from Jurassic Park, pretend they were recently diagnosed with symptoms of tuberculosis, and write a quick character sketch, history of present illness, and create a treatment plan. This paper required us to incorporate many of the major concepts and theories that we've studied in class, and I personally had a lot of fun writing it. I chose Dr. Hammond, the creator of Jurassic Park, as my character, and wrote a total of five pages. When we got our papers back during class last week, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I made an A on it! Our professor also wrote in her note at the end of my paper that I have a talent for writing, and that made me really happy. I love when my writing skills are validated :)
