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
ah, one down..one to go! The lab final is over and I'll get my grade next week before the lecture final. LOL....I was asked tonight if I would consider tutoring micro. Tutor micro?? No way...that would be like doing it all over again. I hope my teacher wasn't insulted but I really have zero interest in this class. good luck guys!!
I wouldn't mind helping out a friend, but to do it all the time? NO THANKS!!!!

yeah, My school doesn't have A+ in the grading system either. I wonder why?? They have B+, B, B- and so on, but only A-(which is a 3.75) and A(4.0). Seems a bit odd to me.

Well, in negative thinking, my A+'s look the same as A-'s or A's. On a positive note, my A-'s look the same as my A's or A+'s. :chuckle
Would have been nice seeing an A+ for A&P 1, not so nice seeing an A- for Micro though. (It just doesn't sound like you've accomplished much with that - there. I'm glad they don't put it!!!) I'll stick with my A's whether it's a 90, 95 or 100.
Horray!! Today was my last day of micro-hell!!! I'm so happy this class is over:) Now to figure out what to do for the rest of my summer..lol. Good luck guys!!
