I… somehow volunteered myself for the lab work today. Not having any lunch today somehow made me special for the blood sugar test. So, after the quiz and presentation, I went up and down the stairs with other “special people” for 5 minutes. I got my finger pricked and then my blood […]

Good reason for skipping today! I had to meet with my Human Physiology Group to talk about what to do for our presentation.

I didn’t bring my laptop today and went with the old fashion note taking technique! But, we didn’t really cover a lot, so there’s not much to say either.
Summary:
We covered the endospores today. Must know what 3 important genra are that have the ability to make them, and differentiate between them. Know […]

Yup, it’s always a downward spiral. Skipped class again today. Here’s the grade distribution for Exam #1

I got 51/53

Almost at the half way mark of the course! Yahoo! Just think, 6 more weeks, and I won’t have to get up at 6:00 am anymore! WOWSERS!
Today’s lab was much more complex than last week - we synthesized methyl orange! A dye made by us from the ground up. Well, […]

Today, David went over every single testing/selective medium with us, to let us know which is important and why they’re important indicators. Here are the different tests we did –
Phenol Red Glucose / Lactose / Mannitol
Nitrate Broth
Urea
Tryptophan
MR-VP
Simmon Citrate Slants
Sulfide Indol Motility (SIM)
Phenlalanine Agar Slant
Refer to the lab packet for what each does.

Skipped =( Don’t know what’s covered.

It’s really a bad habit — missing class. I gotta correct myself on this. Though I missed class, I got class notes from someone else (because I care ^_^) The grades for test 1 are posted today - here’s the result:
[ 10, 15 ) 11 - F
[ 15, 20 ) 19
[ 20, […]

Skipped today. I just don’t think going to class will help me learn anything, so why bother? Really, Morgan not only mispronouce words, she sometimes pass out false info! And - she only reads certain stuff from the slides, but test you on em all. So you get the wrong idea […]

We went over the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium questions today and did some taste gene test - all in all, it was really easy and we were let out in an hour or so.

Dr Selby is boasted how many people did poorly on the test today, it’s kinda of funny ~! I’ve no clue how difficult Selby is compared to Cunningham’s, but 30 multiple choice and 6 essay styled? Wow, almost as bad!
Lecture Notes
Summary:
Hemoglobin… and more hemoglobin. Today we focused mostly on the alpha-beta interface […]

As expected, the test is tricky! Very tricky and detailed - but, Dr White prepared us pretty well. So it’s all good.

Oh my goodness ~ for a class that’s taught by a teacher who can’t prounounce carboxylic acid, she sure makes freakishly difficult test! Quite a few questions were true/false based, but the difference between true and false is ice thin! Then the multiple choices… I don’t know what to say, it’s just […]

Whoever told me MCB isn’t easy, is right. The crazy people had us inoculate 90 different test tubes today. Though it isn’t hard at all, it’s sure time consuming! Ah well - I can do 1+3 tubes easily nowadays though - I just can’t vouce for the steadiness of the bacterial concentration […]

It’s a really messed up way of figuring out what your love is supposed to be like - I can’t remember what the hell I picked, but since I don’t really know my own heart, they might be right =) In any case, communication is the most important… today, I went to Super Cut, […]
