other ideas (posted in other threads):

• make your own flashcards!
  
• if you are not familiar with (or have forgotten) chem, check out an into to chemistry book
  
• utilize your school's study lab, or open lab times, if offered.
  
• take pictures during labs!

Someone please tell me if this sounds disquisting. I had lab this morning and we looked over a cadever to look at the different muscles. The entire time all I could think about was food. :chuckle Does that sound weird or what.

I think that means you're heading into the right profession:roll

The tendons and ligaments on the foot are a pain in my orifice:eek:

Still studying real hard though. Got my lab practical results back today..............

...........................103!!!! Yay, only the final practical to stress over now. I'm really tired today though :zzzzz , AF has come for a visit.

*AF = Aunt Flo =

[AggieNurse2B]

Well, I just got back from lecture test #2, and I think I did pretty well. I got a 96 on the first one, but I got an 80 on my first lab practical! I made a couple of just absolutely STUPID mistakes, and then there were a couple that were pretty tricky. I'll get my lecture test #2 back on Thursday, so everyone pray for me that she's in a good mood when she grades it!

You won't believe this but I did get a little skeleton for my birthday .. he's about 3 feet tall and I named him Frodo. I will take a pic tomorrow and let you all see him .. he's so cute! :chuckle

So far so good. I have a lab test tom. been studying all day for it. Had a lecture test on monday we havn't offically got the grades back from it, but he lets us keep our tests just turn in the scantrons, and by looknig at what I did on it I missed 2, but he also gave us 5 extra credit points and I got all of them right. So, if I'm right about only missing 2 I'd be up +3 points :)

So that makes me happy.

I have been doing pretty good so far.

Hope I keep up the good work. :)

This is def. not a easy class, but I'm enjoying it and are learning alot. :)

Good job!!!! I know what you mean -- it's a whole lot of work but I'm so enjoying the course and "learning so much" is an understatement!

Keep up the good work!

Hey, is it driving anyone else crazy that after you post it goes to the first page of the entire post or am I the only lucky one this is happening to? It's not a far drive to crazy for me, some would argue!

Here's a pic of my new friend btw (borrowed from one of the websites that sells him). He's "Flexible Mr. Thrifty Skeleton With Spinal Nerves". Dh just told me I should make some clothes for him .. hmmmm ......
