That's that
May. 19th, 2005 11:52I plan on going to lecture tomorrow morning, but I expect to be one of about four people there. Both final exams for biology are done.
The scantron was pretty straightforward -- Jerry whispered, "you're fast, kid," when I turned it in after a half-hour. I grabbed something to eat, put my mask on, and showed up for the lab practical... I had no idea what a couple of the slides were, and was totally boggled by the amount of human anatomy we were supposed to have memorized. I already knew the clavicle, scapula, gluteus maximus and deltoid, and visits to Dr. James helped me figure out that one of the labels referred to the 5th thoracic vertebra. But a few things just stumped me totally. Oh, well... I don't expect to need knowledge of human anatomy for the rest of my academic career, thankfully.
So I'm done with nephrons and neurons and myofibrils and myelin. Yay!
Oh, and Kathy complimented me on my term paper as I was leaving, and seemed a little startled that I hadn't ever written a scientific paper in that format before. I've written plenty of papers, though, and read a lot of journal pubs... apparently all the work paid off.
Assuming I did decently on the written part of the third exam (I'll see it tomorrow) and the lab practical, I should get an A for this class. That would be refreshing.
