i got off work at 7:47am yesterday, finished off the stupid presentation summaries for biochem, went to class and then stopped by the honda dealership to get an oil change since my light was on. I didn't have an appointment so i had to wait there for a long time. But i didn't mind cuz i had to cram for physics exam 3 (God, if i get a good grade on that exam, well...). Then i came home, ate, and the floor called me asking if i wanted to come in for overtime. Heck, i'd like to work 2 instead of the 3 days i currently work so why would i wanna come in for an extra day when i've finals to study for? I miss they months gone by when they used to cancel us at least one day per week. Since we've lost 2 staff members and a tech within the last 2 months, the only time you can count on being cancelled is on the weekends and even that isn't something you can count on.
I spent 30minutes on the exam, i guessed on the multiple choice and i almost didn't answer the 'show your work' problems'. My initial plan was to go write my name on the exam and turn it in. It's gonna get dropped anyway so why waste time doing it but i figured why not attempt it.
i got home at 6 cuz i had to go to walmart, went to bed at 6:18pm and got up at 5:17am. still in bed but i'm soo tired and feel sick. i wish i don't have to work tomorrow but that's not gonna happen. Considering 2 staff members are going on maternity leave this summer, i think i should sign up for 60hr/payperiod cuz my chances of being cancelled will be pretty much nonexistent.
I'm waiting for my biochem exam grades to be posted. i pray and hope she posts the grades for the presentations too. That way, i'll know if i'm studying for the finals or not. My average right now is about 102%. even if i did bad on this last exam which i doubt i did, and come down to a 100% average, i think i can BS my way through the exam to get the 5% needed to make an A without studying. Last semester on my bio final, i wrote on the paper i don't see the benefits in answering the questions. i don't know how people were flunking and dropping that class when there was at least 9 to 13 extra points of extra credit on each exam.
I'm having second thoughts about my study plan. My initial plan was to do TBR, passages and then use the kaplan premiere book, EK 1001 and kaplan topicals, sectionals and online stuff from the premiere book as a supplement. Actually, my original plan was to do TPR between the middle of may when school was over till mid june and then start with TBR, which i've been told have more difficult passages. But then i devised this plan last week, where i was going to do the TBR and kaplan and then start doing FL from the end of june till whenever. Sounded realistic. But after hearing LIS say he used TPR and encourage going over that and the science workbook and doing the TBR passages as a supplement, i'm starting to think it might be work going with my original plan. I know i tried looking for a good explanation on electric potential in TBR and it wasn't till i looked in TPR before i got the right understanding. I feel TPR explains things from the ground up which is what i need. Yes, it's very detailed which is why most premeds don't like it. Honestly, i think their section on biochem is more detailed than my Berg textbook. lol... but i understand their stuff. i like their gen chem explanations too. So i think i'll got with the original plan, do the TPR, get a solid review and then do TBR for round 2 of content review. God, please help me and if this isn't the right plan, please lead me to the right plan so i can follow it.
Right now, i feel sick, feel tired and i think i'm going back to bed. I'll turn my phone off between 1 and 5p so they don't call me to ask if i want to work extra.
