I mean let's be completely honest here. If there's a class titled "Introduction to Dinosaurs," it's nearly impossible to resist, especially when it counts for a science general.
For the past month and a half I've taken it, we've learned mostly about geology. We'd learn about different kinds of rocks, the rock cycle (which I admit I totally forgot existed due to the fact that I haven't actually learned any geology since middle school). At the end of each lesson, Dr. Harris (my professor) would dedicate a few slides to the question "What does this have to do with dinosaurs?"
As of this past week, we've finally graduated from geology and we're now studying the anatomy of dinosaurs. Super cool, right?? I have to say, as painful as Anatomy and Physiology was last year in high school, it's helping me a ton with this particular unit. Although dinosaurs have about 5 more bones than we do in their skull alone, many of the names of the bones are the same. Also, did you know that dinosaurs have ribs in their neck??? Well now you do.
Intro to Dinosaurs is my favorite class, but it's also the class I have the worst grade in. I've found a similar pattern throughout my life: the class I'm usually struggling in is the class I love the most.
Maybe after today I'll start posting random facts I learn about dinosaurs in my class.
Ok, seriously- I want to take this class- lucky! My favorite classes were always my hardest ones too- I didn't mind spending way more time on them and never felt like my time was wasted. Good luck and keep enjoying!
