I think I am 5 weeks into Microbiology and I haven't posted about it. Oops.
So, Microbiology...well, first off, the teacher is very nice. He's younger than me and very soft spoken...too soft. I have a hard time hearing him in the back row with the air on. He basically reads through the power point slides, filling in the occasional blank. We weren't given our syllabus until the day before class so I'm always a week's reading behind. That means I'm totally lost by the power points. They are vague and confusing. So I sit through lecture overwhelmed, filling in blanks and hoping that things will make more sense when I read it.
Our lab book is ridiculous. It's filled with cheesy jokes and cartoons that make no sense. The directions for the labs aren't too confusing, but I'm usually confused for the first 20 minutes anyway. We've done some pretty cool stuff growing and testing bacteria. We take lab quizzes everyday. I stunk up one because I had no idea what we were supposed to study. Since then I've gotten better.
We have taken one lecture exam and one lab exam. I got 103 out of 100 on the lecture and 48 out of 50 on the lab. I didn't see that one section was a two parter and those were the points I missed. So despite the good grades, I'm still totally confused by this class. I have a test this week as well. Three tests in February, the longest month of the year (for me anyway).

There are a few moms scholarships which mothers can land if they apply. I have heard that not a whole lot of mothers apply...in other words it's below normal. I guess they think they don't have a chance of winning a scholarship. I can tell you out of 20 my wife Ann applied to she got two. Many you have to write an essay and Ann is an OK writer, nothing exceptional. I guess one will never know unless you through your hat in the ring...in other words apply to as many scholarships as you can!
