One Final down.....One to go!

The last 16 weeks have been pure hell! I have never had to study so much in my life......as a matter of fact I have spent more time studying for this class than I have spent studying for all of my other classes combined! And I'm a nursing major so I've had plenty of other science classes. The difference isn't that this class is just that much harder....it's that it is being taught by the DEVIL!

My teacher is just pure evil......her grading is ridiculous! She will mark you down if you put more information than she asked for but didn't go into enough detail on that extra information. What?! You asked for 1 example....I gave you 3 but because I only went into detail on 2 of them you mark me off. But I gave you the 1 you asked for!!! So then the next test I only put down the information she asks for and guess what.....I get marked down because I didn't put down more. So I argue with her....but you didn't ask for that to which she says "but you should know that's what I wanted, you can always put more information and I won't mark you down". Ummmm....yes you will.....and you have!!!

So going into this class I had a 4.0 GPA. I'm not sure if that will help me in the lottery to get into the nursing program but it can't hurt, right? I think to myself, if I can get an A in anatomy, microbiology and chemistry surely I can get an A in physiology. Yeah...right! I am currently sitting at a 91% but I seriously do not think that I will be able to hang on to that A......and even though I should be seriously thrilled with earning a B from the Devil I am too upset that by choosing the wrong teacher for my last class I might have blown my 4.0 GPA!

So going into last night's lecture final I knew that between the 2 finals and the lab report that I could only lose 29 points and keep my A.......that's not much when you consider how impossibly hard she grades. I do feel that I did pretty well on the lecture final but I don't know if I did well enough to "secure" that A. I have one more final....my lab final on Thursday. Keep those good luck wishes and vibes coming.....I'm going to need them!

And on Friday I will have officially have returned from my trip to Hell!!!
