Exams, exams

Ok, so I'm definitely supposed to be studying right now. I've been home alone since 4:30 this afternoon, and what have I done? I took a nap from 5-6, ate dinner at 7, played on the computer every spare moment I thought about something I just "had to look up," and then started "studying" again. It's so hard to get motivated! Tomorrow is my 2nd exam, and I am just not feeling microbiology right now. I made notecards about 2 weeks ago over maybe half of the material and still haven't even read through them all once yet because I've been going so slow. No need to even mention the amount I've not committed to memory yet... I did the math and found that I only need a 76% to keep an A and that seems to be prohibiting me from focusing on what I need to do. I'm only going to have 1 more exam to study for after micro and then I'll be free (for 3 weeks that is). Summer school in June will be my last 2 courses of my college career, so I'm way too pumped about never having to study again. Haha. Anyways, I have to go back to learning what staphylococcus aureus is all about... Good night!

S. aureus is all about living everywhere on your body (especially your lower GI tract). It is a leading cause of bacterial disease in humans. It can be transmitted from the nasal membranes of an asymptomatic carrier to a susceptible host. That's why you should never use someone else's towel. Microbiology students never really change majors...

Uhh... doesn't that mean you should never be around other people, Squatty? I ain't afraid of no aureus! The exam went fairly well. It was 8 pages front and back but 1/3 was mult. choice and 1/2 was short answer that you either knew or you didn't. I think I did well (despite the lack of studying) since I managed to read through all the notes about once. God was very faithful because I was continually crying out that I didn't think I could study anymore, and what I learned was enough for the exam. Yayy! Hopefully I made at least a 76% to keep an A!
