School has Started

well I'm 2 weeks into school and I thought I'd pass along a couple of things. 1) Counting on working is a foolhardy idea. Biochem, Pharm, Anatomy, Physiology, Principles of Anesthesia, and Clinicals all are required the first semester. Some days classes go from 8-1600 with clinical days starting @0530 or so. Remember these are graduate level classes all needing to be passed w/83% or above. 1 slip (meaning a C) in a group of core courses and your out, less than a B on the remainder means academic probation with a 2nd C meaning so-long Charlie. There is no retaking something later or graduating late. I don't believe anyone can work and keep up your grades. These are school policies pertaining to graduate level stuff. Set yourself up financially first. 2) Try to take some refresher classes. My biochem is a ***** for those who haven't had some sort of chem recently. Same thing for pharm or physiology, a fresh backround may help make the onslought of material more manageable.

So long I'm back to studying.
