Had to move half of my lectures to a separate binder last night. There was no way I was going to be able to carry all of it in my one binder, so I left the extra notes in the car if I need them.
Anyways, we started with histology today (the study of cells under microscopes, methinks.) Basically talked about functionality of light microscopes and electron microscopes. That was a nice, short lecture. We followed up with a longer lecture about the components of the nucleus and the ribosomes and moved on to other components of the cell, such as the ER and Golgi. All in all, a much more in-depth view of cellular components that you probably wouldn't have covered in college cell biology. That being said, a lot of this material is inter-linked with other discussions from previous lectures, such as the usage of the signal receptor protein (SRP) to target a ribosome's protein to be translated directly into the ER. We also went over the N-linked glycosolation we learned yesterday again, only at a larger scale. Then, an hour for lunch!
Class meeting today is apparently about class elections for semi-formal positions for event management. I can safely say that I will not be running for these positions.
