bjl12 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I hope the Fall semester was kind to you all and everyone earned the grades they needed. I got A's in Bio/Che 1 and am so damn happy :D Chemistry is insane. Not looking forward to Che 2 but time to enjoy a couple of weeks without school. Anyone else make some good strides?

just_me Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Chem II was my nemesis but I made it through....good luck although Im sure youll do fine (as well as anyone who posts after this--and if you didnt do fine this semester, suck it up and do better the next, nothing worth having comes easy....)

briepm Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 @Bjl12 - congrats!!! Chem I was the hardest A(-) I ever earned in my life! The good news is that I found Chem II much easier - 1) you're used to the work and are expecting it 2). the 'math' part of your brain is turned on- it will be easier anyway now that you have a foundation and 3). it's more abstract material - not as straight up numbers but more of the beginnings of organic. By the end of Chem II, I actually thought I might miss it (I have not) :heheh: Anyway, way to go! It's actually a blessing to have to really struggle through something and succeed - it's definitely helped me during the first semester of PA school because I was already used to studying 7 days a week. Go enjoy your success - have a great break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnConner Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Congrats on the A's. This semester was brutal. Took 20 credit hrs while taking care of a toddler. Fortunately, I ended up with a 3.84 GPA although I received a B in O-chem and a B+ in the lab:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_me Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I know this may not be comforting but thats damn good in o-chem for the courseload and having a kid....multiple kudos for you Congrats on the A's.

MokahFitChick Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Usafmedic, that is really good actually. I know some motivated people that got a C in that class. The class average was like a C+. That is a really tough class. I have not encountered it yet on my own though so I can't speak from experience only from what I see. Did you take the combined O-chem or one semester of the 2-part one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnConner Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I envy you. Insane workload It wouldn't be possible without my wife. She supports my a** and is fully on board with my goals which means she works full time while I go to school full time and care for out daughter. This spring is a little lighter (13hrs) since I just landed a part time PRN gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
