Anderson, 19, told the Dealer that she always thought of herself as \u201ca humanities gal.\u201d \u201cIf you had asked me a few years ago, ‘can you see yourself taking a hard science class‘, I would\u2019ve been, like, no way!\u201d Anderson explained,. \u201cBut,\u201d she added, looking wistfully into the distance, \u201cthere\u2019s just something about chromosomes that\u2019s been really distracting lately.\u201d While Anderson maintains that the class is \u201cnothing serious\u201d and that she\u2019ll \u201cprobably take it pass-fail,\u201d her friends are less convinced. Third-year Robert McMillan, for example, noted that Anderson seems increasingly unsatisfied by her social studies readings. \u201cLast year, you couldn\u2019t tear Jen away from Marx or Freud for ten minutes,\u201d he commented,. \u201cBut these days, her eyes gloss over any material longer than a few pages. Now she\u2019s been talking about someone named Rosalind Franklin\u2026 she discovered DNA or something? I\u2019m not sure.\u201d Other students shared similar observations. \u201cWhen I came home yesterday, I caught Jenny looking at genetic pedigrees on her computer,\u201d confessed roommate Lena Osborne,. \u201cShe slammed the screen shut really fast, but it was still obvious. I don\u2019t know what\u2019s gotten into her.\u201d When confronted about her fluid academic interests, Anderson rapidly became defensive. \u201cLook, it\u2019s not like I\u2019m going to turn into a pre-med or something,\u201d she allegedly yelled at her mother while talking on the phone,. \u201cYou think one genetics course is going to make me start wearing laboratory-safe shoes and ponyy-tails everywhere I go?\u201d While Jenny\u2019s friends and family remain uncertain, other STEM majors seem excited for Jenny to take the class. When questioned about her registration, biochemistry\/biology double –major Katie Yen commented, \u201cPersonally, I think Jen would look really hot with a lab coat and a pony–tail.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-komono"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1869"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2902,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1869\/revisions\/2902"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
