For our labs this week, the class is divided into different lab groups, so groups rotate between the three labs to experiment with all of them in small groups. On our first day, yesterday, my group started analyzing air pollution right on campus. Little did I know, the is an air filterer on the roof …

“Hey guys test this week, pressure is on…”
Things to do while attempting to make NO and NO2 measurements during chemistry lab: 1) Take measurements from the magic so called NOx box 2) Make up air puns A selection: “Whoever says this class is easy is full of hot air” – Nico “When this class is done I’ll be on cloud 9” – Katie “Don’t …

The Wild World of Atmospheric Physics
Fifth block always feels like a bit of a whirlwind, as we all frantically try to get out of vacation mode and back into our normal role as students. But never have I experienced a fifth block quite this intense. I am in what will almost certainly be the hardest class of my CC career …
7:30 AM -TBD
If you were under the impression that being on the block plan means that you have class from 9AM-12PM and then you are free and wild, please be aware that, for science majors, this is rarely true. The block plan means that there is no procrastinating or class three times a week, and then lab …
Welcome to EV431: The Class Where We Launch A Weather Balloon
Today was day two of EV431 Air: Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The classroom for me is a familiar one for me, and I am sure for most of the other students taking this course, since most of us are Environmental Science majors and have wandered the same rooms in Tutt Science for a few years now. This …

Exactly one week to go!
Happy Wednesday! We’ve made it half way through third week. I’d have to say that this week has gone by pretty quickly so far, which is great! We have exactly one week left of the block. Next Wednesday is the last day. I can’t believe how quickly this block has gone by! It feels like …
Here Comes 3rd week!
Third week, the last full week of the block is here. It usually goes by the slowest of all the weeks. I have a feeling though that this block third week might not go by as slow as some others, mainly because we still have a fair amount of lab work to finish. It snowed …
Happy Wednesday!
Well it’s already half way through second week, meaning we have exactly 2 weeks left in the block now! Only 2 weeks till winter break, a long much-needed break from school. I’m really looking forward to it after taking two lab classes in a row. Lab classes really have a way of wearing you out. …
The End of the First week!
Wow I honestly can’t believe it is already the end of the first week of block 4! Time flies when you’re having fun in a lab class. But really this week flew by. That always seems to happen the first week after block break though. This block I am taking Bacterial Genetics and Physiology. It is an upper level elective for Biology, and …
A Web of Life.
Block 3 is spiraling to an end. It’s Week 4, and rather than being consumed by a rush of anxiety, I’m oddly calm. Week 4 and calm? What? A lot happened in this block–a lot of reading, a lot of talking, a lot of ceremonies, a lot of thinking, a lot of bizarre inexplainable emotional …
