Turf School Day Nine

I thought today would really suck. We had a quiz scheduled in each of our three classes. The teachers told us they would be really hard and how we would hate them after the quizzes, but they were not too bad.
I will say that Mondays will be difficult for the next 3-4 weeks. We have turf development, pest management, and turf diseases every Monday.
In turf development we started to talk about the make-up of the seed today. Basically how the seed feeds the young plant until the plant emerges from the ground and begins photosynthesis.
The we had pest management. The class so far has not been very difficult, mainly common sense. I really enjoy how straightforward it has all been thus far.
We ended our day with turf diseases. the class was about the Fungi Kingdom. Actinomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and a bunch of other stuff that did not make sense to me. I recall some of the information from classes at bYu, but now it is in much greater depth and detail. The teacher told us that for the next week or two, we would be lost, but then everything would make sense and we would fully comprehend what he was teaching us. Unfortunately we have to wait a few weeks.
