However, you cannot do the tests without creating an account using the code that comes with the CD in the book. not sure if it will work without the CD period.

Hello Bio Students,

I too will be starting General Biology on the 23rd. Our book comes with a great website, free & no registration. www.thelifewire.com The book is titled LIFE The Science of Biology, and the authors are Sadava, Heller & 3 other dudes. Am going to pre-study Ch. 1-3, by the sounds of it...I'll need all the help I can get. Anyway, hope the site helps.:twocents:

I feel like I am drowning. I struggle to keep up in class. My job is suffering from lack of energy(im a hairdresser, my clients notice a difference in my energy level).My kids are suffering because im not around as much, and when i am im on edge and snappy with them. My house is a disaster and my kids are having pb&js AGAIN for dinner. This is only the second week of the first class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please someone tell me im not alone.

You are not alone. My husband constantly ask if there are any clean clothes. My house is a mess and thank goodness it's summer, because my kids stay with family. Just remember the POT OF GOLD at the end of the rainbow. I did not do well on my first test so now I am not even answering calls or watching TV. I do let off some stress with this site. Because it keeps me focused and let me know I am not ALONE:banghead:

This has been the week from hell. I've had a bronchial infection that won't quit and searing pain that may be stemming from my occipital nerve. These things are coupled by the fact that a computer glitch and a mistake on the registrar's part inadvertently removed me from my Human Development course. Needless to say I am one week behind and playing catch up in everything else. Ack!

But as usual my Biology professor is fab. He is allowing me to take my exam when desired. I've had perfect attendance up until the last couple of days and he was very accommodating as were my other instructors. Yet and still I'm heartily looking forward to July 24th when the madness ends and I can simply do nothing for a spell!

PS. I adore sleep. It never felt so good. :chuckle

You're not alone. My house leaves much to be desired and I have reconciled myself to the fact that cleaning won't happen for a couple of weeks. I researched a cleaning service and will be trying them out. With a busy schedule spanning seven days per week, merely getting laundry done is an accomplishment, let alone a meal.

However, I do make time for myself. My studies were cut short while I was ill and I spent time watching golf and relishing the free moments of normalcy. I think that is important, especially with the risk of burnout a looming reality.

Remember, this too shall pass. Keep your head up. *s*

Gah, I'm so tired my head hurts. I have to just let myself get one decent night of sleep tonight. But I also have another quiz on epithelial tissues tomorrow. We started tissues on Tuesday and we still have 3 sections to go (out of 4, one section took 2 classes). Test on all of them is next Wednesday and then the final right after. Gah. One more week!!!

I wake up at 5.30 am, get to school at 7 am, get out of class at 3 pm (i do some amateur tutoring, from 2 until 3 since it is not enough time for a "one way trip home" ) then i get at work at 3.30pm and work untill 12.20 am, then i get home around 130am! and have to shower, shave, and all the "inbetween stuff" and get up again at 5.30 am!

it is hard, but i still can make great grades! so far i am "leading" the class, which does not matter at all, just helps me pet my self on the back and keep up the hard work!

ah by the way, its hard to eat, so i have to eat junk food, or prepare something and drive to work, leave in the freezer then go to school...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i am like a zombie! thanks to the daily 64oz of diet montain dew, or green tea! caffeine rocks! just use it wisely!
