Still Going

I quit the factory job after two weeks. It was only through a temp agency anyways. I was tired and didn't have enough time for studying. I knew I had a big exam coming up in a week and I needed to study hard for that. I haven't got my grade back yet. I know I at least got a few wrong. I forgot what an operon is. oh well. I got a C in yesterday's algebra test. I have a B- so far in Algebra. I need to work harder on that class. I have an A- so far in Biology, which isn't bad.

Working in the Factory

I got a factory job March 7 through a temp agency. It is nearby, which is good. Most of the work isn't bad. I don't like how the place has lots of soap and perfumes, which annoy my nose. I have been blowing a lot of blood out of my nose. I will be only working here for a few weeks. I will have to quit because my Veterinarian Assistant course starts in a few weeks for a few nights a week and my Biology and Algebra classes go until early May. The job is full time.

Lab Report

Last night I finished the lab report. I worked on it for about six hours. I started it around noon time at the college, then I went home around 4 pm and had dinner. I then went to the town library and worked on it until the place was about to close at 8 pm. I hope the professor likes it.

UPDATE: I got a 90%! YAY!

First Biology Exam

I just received my results for my first Biology I exam. I scored a 92%. I am pleased. The professor said that the highest grade was a 98%. There will be four more exams, the next one on March 7. I am already studying for it.  I hope to get an A in the class.
The professor said that nobody should take more than two Science classes at once. She said it is very rare for anyone to take more than two and get any good grades. She seems right.
I wish I majored in a science in the first place. 

Generation Gap

I have a list of glossary terms to memorize for the 2nd exam on March 7 for Biology class. I decided to type up the entire list with the definitions, print it out, and memorize the terms. I was very proud of myself. I told the young lady next to me in class that I was printing out a list of the terms. "Why not just use Quizlet?" she said. Quizlet. I know that there are some learning tools on the school's website. I hadn't tried using them yet.
So, there it is. A generation gap already. I am not yet 40 and I already feel so different than those "kids" I go to school with. I think of studying glossary terms as memorizing from a paper, and they think of memorizing terms with a computer program. I did go to the program since then and it has helped me. I am also carrying around my paper print-outs and looking at them as well.

BTW,  I got a 100% in the last test and a 97% in the previous one. I don't know my last exam grade, but I know I got at least a few wrong. Hopefully it was at least an 80%. ol

Biology and Algebra

I am taking Biology and Algebra at the local community college. My Genetics class was cancelled. It was supposed to be online. I think I'd be better off not taking that online.
I have been doing well in Biology class. Last Tuesday we had a quiz and I believe I got an A in it. I have to write up a lab report this weekend and I also have to write an article review. I will also read Chapter 4, which is about cells. I like this class very much. It is taught by two women, both who obtained PhDs in universities in Massachusetts. They are both researchers. One works at Tufts and MCPHS. I am thankful to have them as professors.

I didn't do well in the last Algebra quiz, but I hope to do better next time. I asked for some extra help last Wednesday after class. I have been practicing my homework over and over again so that it will stick in my brain. 

Baker Creek SEEDS Came In!

YAY! My seeds from Baker Creek came in the mail on Wednesday! I got a packet of Riesentrube (bunch of grapes) tomato seeds, lime basil, lemon basil, and Rudbiecka "Mexican Hat" flower seeds. The butterflies should like those flowers.

Unfortunately, I also got a paper in the mail for JURY DUTY. Ha ha. oh FUN!

I hope the jury duty either gets cancelled or I can just sit there and read a book and get paid for it.
