Here&#8217;s just one of the pictures from hanging out and talking after class. I&#8217;ll post more pictures later. They&#8217;re so much fun and I&#8217;m going to miss them when the class finishes in a couple weeks(it&#8217;s just a seminar). A cool story about this picture though: The guy on the left, the girl second from the right, and I all had the same \u00a0high school band teacher. Two separate high schools (he left my school and went to a different one) and we all met in this class. How awesome is that?! And it gets better: the band teacher graduated from University of Iowa! Yeah. Small world, huh? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>On another topic, I had my first chem test last night. It went pretty well. I was really unsure about it. There were a few questions\u00a0that I felt like I knew it, but I just couldn&#8217;t come up with the right process. But several questions took me forever to work out were actually correct, which made me feel good. I used the full time, which means that I kept trying instead of just guessing and getting it over with, so I was happy. I felt like I genuinely did my best. Granted yes, I should have studied a little more (the one question was so similar to one I had practiced but I just couldn&#8217;t remember it), but I know how to prepare for the next test. I&#8217;m also a bit more inspired because this semester is (so far!) starting off better than last semester as far as exams go.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day, talk to you soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Hawkeyes!
