I'm mass-loved? Wow. :)
Umm, I work with a microbiology professor, right now we're researching the way bacteria enter a "Viable But Not Culturable" (VBNC) state, where they no longer replicate, but are still alive. Bacteria normally replicate continually, and the former method of seeing whether they were alive or dead was to see if they would replicate. This explains why some people get recurrent urinary tract infections, because urine (formerly thought to be sterile) actually contains E.coli in a VBNC state. It's pretty interesting, if you're into that sort of thing. ;)
I go to MSU, don't really know why, but it was in-state and pretty cheap.
Class right now is good. Calculus is hard, Chemistry isn't too bad, Biology is a little boring, but psychology is awesome. When you guys go to college, take a psych class. They're the best! You learn about everything to do with the human mind- behaviors, impulses, all kinds of stuff.
