Final Grades - Winter 2011 :)

Final Final of my First Quarter

I took my Intro to Vet Tech final....and got 141/140!  The final was delayed a day because of a big snowstorm we got, which is cool because I had extra time to study.  I got two questions wrong, and had 3 extra credit from winning a review game on Monday.  The only two questions that I got wrong were the only two we didn't have on a our previous quizzes (which I studied from).

Heather said I was the first one to get over 100% on her final :)

In the next few days all the final grades should be coming in.  I'll post again when I have them all.

For now, I've got a week off :)

Whoop Whoop! :)

So! Remember how I said I said I got an 84% on my Algebra Final but I was disappointed?  WELL...I went on today and noticed my overall grade had went up.  I looked closer, and the 25pt exam went down to 21pts, and I originally got a 21/25....so my new grade was 21/21...A+!!!  The four point difference raised my grade from a 94% to a 98% :):):)

I knew that exam was hard, and apparently it was for everyone else too.  AWESOME.

Today, I did my presentation on Rabies in Biology and I think I rocked it.  My grade will be posted later :)
I also took the last exam for Bio and I think i did really good.  I guess time will tell.

Tomorrow I have my final in Intro to Vet Tech.  I am pretty confident about it, but Abby and I are getting together early to study.  We'll see how it goes!

Two Finals Down, Two to Go

Today we reviewed for my Intro to Vet Tech Final.  My group won the review and we get 3 extra credit points on our Final.  Not that we need it ;)

I took my Algebra Final and got an 84% on it.  I was actually kind of disappointed because I aced everything else in the class.  The final exam wasn't written by our teacher though, so I can understand why I didn't do the best.  My final grade in there will be an A though :)

Studying tonight for all the Biology stuff I have to do tomorrow.
Two days left of my first quarter!

First Final...

Well....yesterday I got up at 6:30a for my last (hopefully) ever AM Animal Care Duty.  We did that, and then I worked on some homework.  When Abby got done with class, we got together to study for the final in Medical Terminology.  We spent the next three hours laughing our asses off as we thought of unique ways to remember the med terms.  For example, the medical term for "around" is "Peri-" and we used "Peri around the merry go round."  We had over 150 terms to learn, so we had a blast making up all these ridiculous ways to remember them.

Well, all of our hard work paid off.  I got 106%.  That's right.  I got every single question on the 127 point test correct, and nailed all 8 extra credit questions.  The best part of the whole thing was I even heard Abby start laughing during the exam as she remembered one of our priceless memory techniques.  She also aced the exam!

Next week holds finals in Algebra and Intro to Vet Tech, a bunch of stuff due for Biology including a 10 minute presentation on a disease (I picked Rabies), and who knows what else.  I'm strapping myself in for a wild ride on the roller coaster I call the last week of my First Quarter!!!
  

Essential Skills....Complete!

Yesterday, my battery decided to die in my car so I missed Global Citizenship.  We got it replaced before five, so I made it to Biology.  We finished up the final chapters and did a Jeopardy review.  It should be a pretty intense test.  Hopefully I can handle it :)

Today in Intro to Vet Tech we finished the last of our Essential Skills!!  I completed all twenty of them...all on the First Try :D

I can now officially:

-Properly apply canine and feline restraints for various procedures

-Apply gauze or nylon muzzles on canines
-Apply nylon muzzles to felines

-Use a restraint pole (canines)

-Use small animal restraint tools such as a towel, cat bag, etc

-Encage and remove small animals from cages

-Apply an E-Collar

-Implement sanitation procedures for small animal holding and housing areas

-Trim canine and feline nails

-Express canine anal sacs

-Clean and medicate canine and feline ears

-Obtain TPR (temperature, pulse and respiration) on canines and felines and auscultate (listen to with a stethoscope) the heart and lungs

:):):) 

In algebra, we did a review for the final next week.  

I had animal care duty this afternoon as well.  For the morning shift, you take the dogs out, clean the cat and dog kennels, change water, feed them, and obtain TPR's.  The afternoon shift is different.  We spot clean the kennels and clean the classrooms.  Finally, we get to exercise the animals!  The dogs are walked for 10-15 minutes and they get a chance to play.  The cats hang out in the classrooms with us and play while we clean.  I was sweeping and a 5 month old kitten was chasing the broom.  Adorable :)

Next quarter I am signed up for all pm shifts, and I'm excited :)

Now, I've got to go study all these med terms for the final tomorrow.  I'll let you know how I do! :)

Physical Exams!

Today in class we did intake exams on the dogs and cats that came in for the week!  We each got to do an animal on our own, with Heather there for guidance if we needed it.  We filled out the PE forms, and then she looked over them.  She said that we did "excellent" and we did so well she signed off on our Essential Skills for them (on our very first try!).  Awesome!

Then, we got out of Algebra an hour early!
Awesome!

Now I have to go into work from 5-11.
BOOOOO.
