    I had a question about the first semester labs. Do you guys use all the lab time or are they more like A&P labs where you do the work and can leave when you finish? They're 2 hours and 50 minutes long so I was just wondering.
    We usually use all the time. The state and accrediting body require a certain number of hours of classroom time. There's always a skill or assessment to practice, though, and sometimes lecture will go longer than an hour, especially if it's a test day.

    Awesome! I do better either by myself or with structure. Good to know!

    How did the first semester go?

    Well, we made it through! I think the last few weeks were kinda rough for a lot of us, with the holidays. Finals week was intense, we had three over two days. I think we all felt like we had too much to do and not enough time to do it. At the end of it all, I was just glad to be done and have a break! First semester is definitely doable, just stay on track and be consistent with your work ethic.
