Oh Sandy, I have to say that I put way too much effort into Science this year, so much so that I have to study my ass off for Ethics because I went very, very crap with my tutorial paper for ethics. I am spewing!!! I did very well with my seminar though (despite not being able to string a sentence together when doing it!) Majella gave me a 16.5 out of 20 for that one. Yay!!! I only have to get 20 marks out of my final journal and exam to pass science!!! Woo hoo!!! I have done a bit of science and some ethics study. I am finishing prac this week (how time consuming is this new model?)and am just trying to do a bit of study where I can. Majella's hints on what to study where very useful though!!! Good luck for the exams! Hayley

That sux about Ethics I was VERY lucky I did it during the summer holidays so I did really well because I had no other subjects to concentrate on! And it made this semester SO much easier. I've done my prac probably because of the above, but yes it was somewhat more difficult to fit around everything. Didn't get much sleep the last 13 weeks thats for sure! Your seminar was good hun! The nerves always get the better of me as well - I get SO very nervous! - were you there on Friday for mine? - I can't remember because I was so nervous LOL! We had big dramas before presenting so I was even more flustered than usual Majella gave me full marks for it though so that was a very nice surprise - wasn't expecting that!! Majella was really good with info for the exam...I feel a lot better about it than I did a week ago thats for sure. Guess we just have to wait and see how it goes!

Oh wow Sandy!!! Congratulations on your seminar mark! That is fantastic!!! I wasn't there on Friday. My dh went away Friday morning for 7 weeks I was unwell as well and just felt like sitting around the house and being a sook. My friend Jessie took notes for me though. I am not as worried about the science exam as the others. I still haven't got back my nursing marks but I got 75% for the portfolio, so I worked out I need 35 marks just to pass with the essay and exam. I need about 56% on my ethics exam though I got a really crap case study that had little information in it so I wasn't able to elaborate much with the case study in my tutorial paper so I didn't go very well there. My friend Carli thinks I should dispute the mark but in some ways I am not sure if I do deserve any more marks because I have not put much effort into ethics at all. I hope all goes well. I did a night duty last night so I don't think I am going to do much tonight but sleep and eat the fundraising chocolate my dd bought home!!! Take care love. Hayley
