I studied biochemistry at CC, and I absolutely loved every class, every lab, and every chance I could get to learn more about chemistry and biology (and even neuroscience!). During my sophomore year, I especially leapt at the chance to study as much as I could and to challenge myself in ways that would not be possible on a traditional semester plan. In my first semester, I managed to take Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 (plus Analytical Chemistry and Cell Biology); in my second semester, I took Biochemistry 1 and 2 (plus Physics 1 and 2)! I only had a few required courses left, so I took quite a few higher-level classes as electives in my junior year.
