Assumptions

Apparently, Watson and Crick didn’t get along. Weird. I saw the photographs in science textbooks – two lanky, nerdy men smiling at a DNA model. The photograph told me that Watson and Crick were buddies. BFFs. I mean, the dudes discovered DNA…

That makes you best friends, doesn’t it?

This is the danger of two dimensions. Two dimensional objects, two dimensional relationships – you just don’t get the whole story. But I base so much off of two dimensions.

And lo, Watson and Crick go down in my personal history book as the best laboratory bromance of all time.

Just how much do I have wrong?

I'M A MESS.

Answer Key:

Multiple Choice: 1B; 2E; 3, B, C, and D.

True/False: 1T; 2F; 3F

Fill in the Blank: 1, motives; 2, zero.

Short Essay: Answer should include short description of the February 8 counseling session. During this experience, I discovered that a significant part of my motivation for working at Camp Elim is to preserve my reputation with that organization and prove that my heart towards Zoe has changed. Some references to other insincere camp experiences should also be included, with special emphasis on cry nights. Essence of the conclusion should be as follows: My motives have been questionable in the past, and they are now. This muddles the decision that I need to make.
