Hey I got great news!

[Lisa Almquist]

Not really fishy or outdoor related but since everyone (well maybe not EVERYONE) was pulling for me.....I GOT AN A in Cell Biology! Extra credit rocks!

[reelemin]

Yeaaaaaaaaa - I knew you could do it.

[Lisa Almquist]

Thanks friend. Sure wish I had your confidence-I'd be deadly!

[NAMASafetyDirector]

Way to go Lisa!!!!

[bassNspear]

[delmuts]

[fishinchicks]

Way to go Lisa! Congratulations!

[Lisa Almquist]

Thanks everyone! I'm pre-nursing. I'm taking pre-requisite classes at night right now. I'm just doing better than I thought I would. I'm in Anatomy and Physiology I now but I also have to take A & P II in which I have to dissect a CAT! I have 4 cats so that will not be too fun. I hope I don't cry!

[fishinchicks]

Our high school biology class dissects cats. My sister had to reconstruct the skeleton on one as well when she was taking her prephysical therepy classes. Hers was road kill. Not that it makes it any easier for a cat lover.

I know at least three people who went back to school to become nurses. All of them really enjoy their work. I think when people choose a medical career after gaining more life experience, they are more compassionate to their patients.

Good luck with your anatomy and physiology!

Boy am I glad you didn't say I just saved a lot on my car insurance. Good job on the A!

[Lisa Almquist]

I might be kinda silly but that'd just be going TOO far!

I found the frozen smiley in Photobucket. They have lots of cute avatars in there!

[Grant Pearson]

Great job!

Good job Lisa!!! Now go find a cure for influenza. 4 of us here have been bit by the bug. After my one of my boys peeked at close to 105 and me at 104, the 2 of us went in tuesday, they tested me and found out yesterday I was positive for Influenza A . We're are doing a little better now, but lemme tell ya, NO FUN!!!!!

[SmallieSweetie]

That's awesome Lisa. Don't worry about the cat disection. It really isn't as bad as you might think. Best of luck babe.

[glenn57]

lisa i never had any doubts! congrats.

[sptitz]

Good job Lisa!!! Cats huh? Give me a call.

[Deitz Dittrich]

nice job Lisa--- You brought up cat disection. I was labeled LD as a young dude,a nd if you have read many of my posts, my spelling is not what it should be. Anyway.. I had to take Anatomy 4 times in college... So, had to do the cat thing 4 times... I have 2 cats now.. You just have to think its not your cat.. LOL...

By the way, on lab tests, each question was 2 points.. one was for the correct answer, the other was for spelling it correctly.. I know exactly what tetrohydrofosfokinase is, but still for the life of me cant spell it...LOL

[mno]

Good job I'm a college student as well and I feel the best when I know I'm passing fo sho with an A id go out and celebrate

[Rebel9921]

way to go!!!!

[SoldierGirl]

Congrats on the A. Cat dissection isn't that bad. I am a cat person and was anti-dissection anything in high school. Took A&P in college with the cat lab and loved it. I was the TA for the class the next year. Good luck!

[frogtosser]
