Class of 2017.... how you doin?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Anatomy final in 4 hours and I almost feel like I have to walk carefully so that everything I learned doesn't spill out of my ears. Kind like walking with a full glass of beer in a packed bar. That is how I feel right now.

You need a neck brace. =)

Also, beware of things that may make you sneeze. Knowledge can also escape that way.

(Kidding! You'll do great!)
 
Well, two quizzes down today that I did alright on. Exam tomorrow that will not go very well. I also donated blood today for the first time in 5 years. I should do it more, since I'm O negative. Anyway, my left arm is cold and falling asleep!

Really not looking forward to tomorrow's exam. I just do not feel good about it.

I feel like I know nothing reading through these notes. How about lets just list the cranial nerves... I can probably manage that.

That's about where it ends for me at the moment...
 
Just had a horrible histo exam. I really need to slow down when I'm taking exams. I think I missed some just because I didn't realize there was a question there. Why would you put a question without a space to answer it? Ugh.
 
Finals week doesn't start until tomorrow and my eye is already twitching. Superb.

Seeing as our first one is Respiratory phys... I don't blame you; it still doesn't make sense in my head.

I was trying to learn all the stupid details and now I've given up and am just learning the big concepts in detail. Just trying to work my way through the objectives/study questions and hope for the best. I'm real terrified though.
 
Super nervous about our animal welfare final today. It really shouldn't be that difficult but I KNOW the professor is going to try to screw us over. If I fail out of vet school because of his vaguely worded exam questions and extremely subjective grading, I will be beyond pissed.
 
Parasitology final in 2.5 hours. ALL THE SCIENTIFIC NAMES!

Best of luck. That doesn't need to be a difficult class, so I don't know why he insists on being like that. I promise to have my class make a stink if you guys suffer for it. I'm sure ky will get the second years to yell about it too.

For sure! Some people had that class as their lowest mark last year which makes no sense when there is physiology with Dr.S or histology or embryology or gen path, etc.
 
Having the fire alarm go off in the middle of my phys midterm and tromping a fair distance through a couple feet of snow to the closest building was sure fun. At least I got to take a nap for 1/2 hr....

2 things...
1) Was that a drill? Cause if I had a fire alarm and there wasn't actually something on fire, I'd be PISSED.
2) Midterm? Is it a full year course?

I'm assuming no, because the fire dept came. Not sure what set it off though....we got to go back in after 30 mins or so.

Yeah, full year class. I was so incredibly grumpy when they announced that we had better grab our coats and head outside....
 
How did they keep people from talking about answers while they were out there?

I had that happen once in an exam where there was only like 10 min left and I was just filling in the bubbles and hashing a few last questions. We went outside and everyone was like, "What did you put for ______?" And I had to try so hard to move away and not listen. I kinda hated the class anyway so that never helps.

Thanks guys. The questions weren't as terrible as I was fearing, though there were a few curveballs. We'll see how it goes when he grades it though. :bag:
 
Well, that respiratory phys exam sucked. But, thankfully, all I need is a 75 on the final to keep my B. Hopefully I can manage that Wednesday.

It will almost certainly be my lowest. Funny, seeing that my second major was animal behavior with one of my minors being anthrozoology. Welfare in an academic context is not exactly new to me. 🙁
 
Not to say I'm happy you did poorly Rainheart, but I'm glad I wasn't the only one. That sucked.
 
I calculated what I need on finals for my last two classes. For the practical and written together in anatomy, I need a 97 to get an A. This is just on the edge of possibility, maybe. 😕
 
2 down, 2 to go.

Gotta push myself the max for anatomy......but then I am taking Friday night off. Genetics can wait until Sat morning......

edit: Just realized I have done 0 xmas shopping...oops

Pushing myself like crazy for anatomy too. I had a minor breakdown in lab feeling like I know nothing (there is so much stuff!), but then I stayed for like 3 more hours which ended up making me feel a bit better. Still really doubt I'll manage to make an A, which is kind of disappointing. I'm just hoping the exams aren't too bad.

I have, however, bought nearly all of my Christmas presents, depending on who else is joining us this year. 🙂
 
3 down, 5 to go. I might be dying. Power through!

I calculated mine and I'd need a 107 to get an A. LOL. That first exam/practical was just ... :uhno:

Yeah I feel you. Some of my finals really aren't much in the overall point value for the class though, so they really can't change your grade hugely which is good and bad I suppose. I need like 97% on my physio final to get an A but I could skip it and still pass the class by a reasonable margin...

That's awesome! I'm usually more on top of the shopping, but I guess I'll be one of those last minute people this year.

I really just want to curl up on the couch with my cat and watch Supernatural on netfix right now. Must...keep....studying....
