Eeeeek I have a class where we are being treated like HS students!! I kid you not. Its molecular bio. She drew a nucleotide and then asked someone to come up and circle the phosphate group. Then she goes on to tell us C-G's are paired and A-T's Like duh!!! Then she tells us that denaturing is the breaking down of DNA into single strands using heat. (duh..what does she think we did last year in DNA forensic's class last year. She told us it takes more heat to break the C-G hydrogen bonds...ya, and we know how to calculate what temp to yes...thank you very much!!!)
But the best (or the worst was our lab today) We had a lab on pipetting. No seriously. And then running our samples through the spec. She came with open toed shoes, and didn't know how to use the spec. We had to tell her where stuff was kept in the lab

I think I will cry if I have to read another page in Great Expectations. WHY did this book have to be assigned on the very first day of school.
We had a test about the first 20 chapters today, and out of 20 questions...I only answered 9 of them LOL. I felt totally stupid but this book is going way over my head, I feel like I'm reading a different language. I read it, but if someone were to ask me what I just read about, they would get an incredibly blank stare because I have nooo idea.
Ack, I knew I shouldn't have taken honors. It was just so easy last year I figured it would be the same this year.

My chem /zoology teacher was a college prof so she borrowed items from the college so we go to distract DNA and use pipettes and all the fun stuff before college and even other classes(she was the my favorite/ best teacher i ever had i would stay at her class during lunch to help her or to see a random experiment)
1st week of placement done and dusted.
LOTS of opportunities Still on induction, but making some great contacts. Been out on the community drop in bus (its a rural area with few links), met a whole host of people, and get to go into more agencies next week
Thinking about what I'd like to do in my time... I enjoy mental health and substance misuse.. and anti-social behaviour... So watch this space!!
Oh, and GOD how schools have changed since I went... We never had ANY of the links... such a good idea though.
