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
Ahhh micro math sucks!! PFU's per ml, titration suspension. ewww!! Just had to get that out.
lol ....the only good the main good thing I can about microSUX! is that IT'S OVER! lol
....and we have talked about a few things in A&P2 that I learned in Micro...ATP production and lymphatic stuff like IgG, IgA, IgM, 1st response, etc. :)
Good luck to all of you that are still stuck in MicroSUX!
well guys, this class is just about over for me and I am thrilled!! I have my lab practical final today and handed in my lab notebook( thing weighs more than I do) last night. My lecture final is next Tuesday....it's almost over!!!!I cannot wait to have the rest of the summer to myself before I start the program this fall. I won't miss this class one bit, but I am glad that it's out of the way...can't imagine 16 weeks of it! Best of luck to you all!!!
BTW, 8 weeks of micro is MicroSUX!, 16 weeks would be officially classified as Micro-He((! :rotfl:

i survived microbiology and i have to tell you that i am glad it is over. i came out of the class with a b+ and it is not that bad for taking it over the summer. i missed one lab and that is why i did not get the a- i was hoping for. i am all set to start the nursing portion in the fall.
