Just getting the Microbiology thread started for those of us taking it this summer :) Let's introduce ourselves. I'm sure we may recognize each other from the A&P thread and hopefully there will be some new students too!
I'm Jennifer, married with 3 kids (11,6,2). I'm starting the nursing program in August and other than my humanities elective, I'll be ALL DONE with gen. ed. courses. I've been a SAHM for 7 years but am considering a PT summer job to help pay for expenses (mine and DD's - middle school is expensive between cheerleading ($305), flute ($700!!) and the newly mandated uniforms ). Oh and I have been a mystery shopper for 7 years too which basically helps us get out and do stuff that we otherwise wouldn't be able to afford.
My classes start May 17. I'm taking Micro Tues, Wed, Thurs from 6-9 (lecture from 6-7:20, lab from 7:30-9.) I'm also taking English 102 online. YUCK. I don't want to write papers this summer. We're using Tortoro's book in Micro, BTW.
I really have no idea what to expect for this course. I did very well in A&P 1 and 2 (A :balloons: ) but am feeling a bit burnt out - having only 1 week off between spring and summer semester is not enough. We have the entire week of July 4th off for break, and DH and I are surprising our kids with a week in Disneyworld We can't wait!! I spend way too much time on the DIS boards and planning our trip:p
that's awesome!!! I knew you would do it:) I have 2 tests next week...one in lecture and my lab practical final. We had to turn in our lab notebooks last week and I got mine back last night...10/10 on all my reports...hooha! I still have 7 more to write up before the final next week and then I'm done. After this week...only ONE more left of micro-hell!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that I finish with an A! Good luck guys!!

The instructor decided to drop our lowest quiz and our lowest lab report, so I currently have a 100.1 %, yay!
Great for you. Very proud of you. I am too taking micro. Do not like it and I sure do not have 100.1% but I am holding a B in the class. We have until Aug. 11 for our class and I will throw a party when that day comes.
Thanks Wendy! We have our 3rd exam tomorrow, and I am dreading it. Just can't stay focused anymore. After this test all we have is the final. Well aside from daily quizzes that is

I have my third test next wed. I am not doing well on the tests however, I am doing very well with the labs and quiz grades. I just hope to pass the class and be done with it. I should have never taken it in the summer!! I would rather be running around with my husband than in the house studying!! We are running out of time in this class and our teacher said last night he may cut some things out. That is ok as long as he don't cut the points!!! I will be really mad about that.
My sisters name was Tracie. She died of cancer in 2003. Still breaks my heart, but I know she is in a better place then here. Promised her I would make it thought school to become a RN.
Keep up the good work and let me know how you did in the end. I have until Aug 11.
Hello, fellow Micro students... I am finally finished with my summer micro class. I only had a 85% at the end but I am very happy with my B. Plus I enjoyed learning so much new information. Good luck to everyone with future test. Now I am getting nervous about nursing classes next month
REALBRIT: Sorry to hear about your sister, and I hope you can eventually keep your promise to her.
Good luck on your third test. (I hated MicroSUX, and thought the same thing about taking it during the summer. ...BUT I also don't think I would like it at all having it 16 weeks!!!) lol
ACHOO!: Hope you did well on your test, and good luck on your final! :)
RKRS6673: Way to go! I think a B in summer MicroSUX is great! :) IT'S OVER!!!!! woohooo!
Good luck in your nursing classes! :)

Oh Wendy I am so sorry to hear that. Talk about a motivator. I hope you continue to do well and move forward.
I got one wrong on my exam, and he threw 2 questions out due to controversy ( the one I got wrong and another) so I actually got over 100%. I am sooo relieved!
Let's keep it up gang, we can do it!
Congrats to everyone who has finished successfully! :)
