I'm studying B.Sc Behavioural Genetics. First years all do a similar B.Sc course. I'll be doing Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Psychology (this replaces physics with the other first years will be doing) and Computer, I think that's all. But we have lots and lots of practical classes which will occupy my time till late at night. :(
Kudos to you, papayahed! That takes a lot of motivation to jump back into the education routine . . . attendance, studying, homework, etc. Make us proud!
I have put some thought into graduate school to advance my RN degree, perhaps within the next year or two; ideally, I would like to remain in critical care, but maybe make the transition to a nurse practitioner or into anesthesiology a bit easier.
Have they slammed you with studies yet? :D
Thanks Mono. Apparently I'm not as smart as I thought I was :lol:. My spanish class might be a little difficult. I'm finding my memorization skills aren't what they used to be and we've already had a quiz. My fiction professor seems pretty cool, even though we started off reading a poem!!!!:sick:. The reading list looks pretty good, if not a little ambitious. I'd say a quarter of it I've already read.
while the stars that oversprinkle
all the heavens seem to twinkle
with a crystalline delight...
sorry. couldnt help it.

I didnt mean they were due in the same day ( there is 4 days - 9 between the assignmnets due dates its just they love to through all the essays at you at once !) Basically every week barring next until 2 week in march I have something or other due ... *sigh* ah well 9 weeks more and then I am DONE and out of here ( providing I dont fail the year of course) !
I took my first test today. I missed the last two classes but I think I still did pretty well. There was one section where I thought was going to cause me problems but apparently it was a little over everybody's head because la professora told us which verbs to use which cleared everything up.
Yesterday I got assigned my first writing assignment. I haven't had to write a paper in forever and even then the papers were more about engineering so correct grammar wasn't really required - and ya'll know how bad I am in grammar.
I had my first day today. I'm pretty excited now. I really like one of my professors; the other 2 seem ok.
I wrote my first midterm yesterday and I ACED IT!!! WHOOO!!!:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::b anana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::ban ana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banan a:
Sorry, I'm really excited:D

I have to write a huge paper today. It has to be today so that I can do another just exactly like it tomorrow. I've done every other assignment I can think of and I just don't want to do this one. Boy! It sounds like somebody needs a WHAAAaaambulance!
100 pages of reading for a three hour class on empirical research.. You've got to be kidding right? :rolleyes:
:eek: that's crazy. I guess I've got it pretty easy.Quote:

Snow day!! No school!!! :banana::banana::banana:
I'm so happy, now I have an extra day to study for my test. :D
estoy aprendiendo Español. I'm learning Spanish. I'd like to train as a German teacher in England and they prefer teachers to teach two languages in the long run. So I'm studying Spanish on my own. Plus, I'm studying "teaching German as a foreign language". Not taking any courses. I wish someone would set me an exam.!
Well, I didn't go into work today, so does that count for me too. :D We only got five inches (12-13 cm) but they were predicting ten to twelve inches. But it's nasty and icy out there. Plus we may get more.Quote:

It's midterm time and my lowest grade is a 94%! My highest grade is 101.2%! I'm very excited about it. I've heard terrible things about this semester (commonly called Block 1) and we've lost some people due to the heavy workload. It's hard work, too. I feel so good about my grades and the work I’m doing.
I've hit that point where I'm so tired of studying for midterms that I just don't care anymore..bad bad bad.
:confused: how can you get more than 100%?Quote:

I'm soooo glad this school week is finally over. Had a paper due and a lab practical today. The whole class was all freaked out about the practical...now that it's over I can relax and maybe sleep a little. I'm not sure what I got yet, I'm thinking probably a C, but I'm ok with that. I'll be happy as long as I passed.
I'm going to try to finish all of the work for the semester next week. I'm so sick of school right now. I want to put my garden out and I can't when I'm tethered to the computer.
Second genetics midterm on tuesday. Must study...
