thanks I love snoopy too, I have been collecting him since I was a kid :)

I have finals on Wednesday in my lecture. I had finals last week in lab and I scored a 95 overall grade....our lab is 20% of our overall grade (they combine lab 20% and lecture 80%) for our total grade. I was talking to my teacher today and he showed me my grade in lecture so far w/o taking the final and I have 99.8 in the class...so I feel good that I'm gonna get a A...that is if I pass the final :chuckle:

Good luck to you all :)

BTW, when does your new semesters start? Our's do not start till Jan. 9

Woo Hoo. I took my last two quizes today, one on the nervous system, very hard, too much remembering what everything does, and the other a nerve practical. I got 30 out of 30 on both. Yeah! The final to go and this one is done!

I'm kind of irritated because there is a professor at my college that gives a re-test after every test and all 30 people are geting A,s and B's in his class. I guess its possible to skate through A&P after all!?

To hear this really makes me sick 'cause my teacher is so brutal. Had my final today but I think I did it and held on to my A. :angryfire

We are allowed a retest, different questions. I am hardly skating through, either. I still have to spend quite a lot of time studying!
