Cute vs. Cute

I'm in a slight lull right now.  Caught up with homework, had an exam last night & a couple of weeks before another so I thought I would at least try to get something logged while I can.  I was watching "Planet Earth" on the Discovery channel this weekend & they showed some ducks being born somewhere, but then they showed a cute little fox kill some of the ducklings.  Then she brought it back to her baby kits so they could eat.  I was weirded out.  I am used to seeing ferocious animals kill & I accept it, but I am not used to seeing cute on cute murders.  It's just wrong.   I got a notification that I qualified to join the Honors Society for my school so that made me feel pretty good & that I am on the right track.  Microbiology is kicking my butt, but I have hope that I can pass it.  I got a C on my first lecture exam, but I was also really sick with the flu and had a temp of 102 & hadn't been able to study because I was so sick, so I am happy I passed the darn thing.  I got a C+ on my first lab practical, but I am stoked because I didn't understand how to do metrics conversions & serial dilutions & that is basically what I missed on the test, but I went to a workshop last weekend & now I totally get it so I think I will be able to get much better grades on the next exams.  In my Bio 100 class, on the first exam I got the highest grade in the class so I am pretty confident that I will do pretty well for the rest of the semester.  Last night was another exam & I knew more than I didn't know so I'm not sweating it.  Only 8 more weeks to go before I can read something that doesn't have to do with microbes that can make you sick, skeletons, muscles, diseases, metabolism, genetics, enterobacteriaceae,  blah blah blah...
