I expect it will get harder, but at the rate we're moving we'll hit that point at the end of the semester.
Also, while my microbiology professor is a genuinely nice guy, he has the most monotonous voice I've ever heard. Not only that, but he starts off talking normally, and then moves to mumbling at the end of his sentences/points. A 15 person class in a room made for 100 does not give us the best acoustics.

The only problem I've had is that they seem to assume everyone's taken college chemistry and I never have. Also, on the day of my A&P test last week, the train had a problem and it took like half an hour for it to occur to them to drop us off at the nearest platform so we could catch trains that were actually moving. I missed most of it, but I managed to scrap a B out of the time I had left, so it turned out all right.
Your class schedule is nearly identical to mine, though. What sort of career path are you working on?
I've been having some problems with the university re: my classification and they didn't respond to any of my attempts to contact them before classes started. (Background: I took two classes there last spring as a graduate student. Because the undergraduate and graduate colleges function independently, I have to be admitted as a postbac by the undergraduate college to be classified as such, and until then I'm still a grad student.) So I finally got in touch with them the second week of class, and it turns out that the problem was that they couldn't tell where I'd got my bachelor's degree (even though that's the only transcript with 100+ credits and
says in capital letters that I earned a degree, but whatever). I'd only paid the rate they should charge and not what they did charge, so they dropped me from my classes, because they do that, and I've had to get myself manually re-entered into all of the classes. I'm still waiting for Microbiology and the Microbiology lab, and today is the last day to do this, so I have to spend today finding out what the hold up is; the registrar claims they haven't gotten anything and the professor claims he submitted the request.
What makes it even more fun is that right now I can't access the lab online, which is the only way we're able to obtain and submit assignments.
Meanwhile, one of the classes I took last year didn't transfer toward my Master's degree, so I've been locking down a summer class that will. That was annoying, but it's done now.
