Did you survive O-Chem?? Is it all over yet?? 

My last final of this term is tomorrow morning!! Eeek!! :) 

Re: ** Jeff&Em

  • Pfffft.

    So I survived A&P.  I should have an A.

    But the ACS final for OChem was SO hard.  I honestly didn't care what I got as long as I got a 36 out of 70, which is passing.  I got a 33.  So I'm retaking the stupid thing Friday morning.  I'm trying to figure out why it's acceptable to force people to take a test that over 50% of the people don't pass?  Ugh.

    What final do you have tomorrow?  Yay for being almost done!

  • ::Butting in:: 

    Jeff&Em, are you going to school for chemistry? My H is a chemist, its such a confusing field. If so what kind of chem degree are you getting?

  • I have my pathology test tomorrow.... it is so much memorization I think my head is going to explode.  Which is probably why I've posted so much today on the Nest!! :)

    Sorry for bringing up OChem... I thought you'd be done & celebrating.  That is dumb that they would give a test that a majority of students wouldn't pass.  What are they thinking?? At least it will be over soon.

    C+S: DH & I both have backgrounds in chemistry.  Does your H work in a lab in pdx?

  • No worries!  I'm just miffed I missed it by 3 points.  Missing it by 10 points would make me feel like I'm just OChem stupid.  By 3 points is just super frustrating.

    C+S, hopefully pharmacy!  If I don't get in, though, I'll probably do a Chemistry, Biology, or Biochem degree.  I don't know which.  : )

    I just asked MH which he thought was most practical in the job field, since he works with a bunch of people with those degrees. He said your best bet getting hired if you don't do pharmacy would be to do a BioChem or Chem degree. There is no work right now for general biologist.  He works with a guy who hates his job, but can't quit cause all he has is a bio degree, and its just not useful in this field.

    Not being a downer, just HTH since I have some insider info ;-) 

  • No, not a downer.  Most of my credits are in Chem and Bio, so I just figured I'd get a degree in whatever would get me out the fastest.  : )  I'm so tired of being in school!
  • I understand. 

    If you ever have questions for an existing chemist, actually working in the field. Feel free to pm me
