Well, my first lab practical is tomorrow morning at 8:10am. I am freakin' nervous because she wants tons and tons of detail--if she asks function of something, say, ocular lens--you cannot just say "magnifies the specimen which was sent through the body tube." You have to say EVERY THING YOU POSSIBLY KNOW about the ocular lens. OOK. The microscope is what scares me the most because we never went over the parts and functions really in class, we just kind of started doing everything.

It's going to be 25 stations, 2 at each station (2 minutes) and then we will have an extra sheet that we need to answer questions on while answering questions at stations :uhoh3:. Everyone says that lab is generally one grade higher, but this woman is nuts I think.

Wish me luck. I don't even know how to study for this really because I have NO IDEA what she will ask. We did a power point review the other day in class, but then I went online this weekend and she added extra slides of "possible questions," which we have never gone over before, never had a lab on, never even heard of, so I hope that was a mistake!

Hey everyone!

Long time I have not been in the site. School is going just okay. Micro is beating my rear and didn't do too peachy on my practical. Happy Valentine's day eveyone!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I just did my lab test last night. She gave us a study guide, but we had to look up all the questions. Probably 80% of it wasn't covered in class. Thankfully, I remembered the dyes for all of the stains we've done. (Who knew we'd have to know names like crystal violet, carbolfuchsin, safranin, etc?) But it was still pretty tough, so I'm kinda worried about my grade.

I forgot all about the capsule stain and India Ink, so I ended up putting crystal violet instead of India ink for "What dye was used here?" on a miscroscope slide and then I put a Gram positive stain instead of capsule stain for "What stain is this?" on another slide. Ugh.

I'll get my grade on Wednesday.

Happy belated Valentine's Day to you, too. Please keep your head up, this class is hard and harder for you because of your terrible start with that crazy teacher. Do your best and let us know how you are doing. {{{{HUG}}}}

Good luck to you! I got a 100% on my microscope test (identify parts, why we use oil, the condenser, etc), and find a slide at 1000x within a time limit. I was so worried about it! I also got an 87% of the Lab test, but it maybe bumped to an A because there were 3 questions on the test worded very badly and most people missed them, so the teacher may throw out theose questions, which will give me a 91%, so I really hope she does this!
