new meaning to the word fail

So, I just took my first lab practical. I BOMBED. I don't even know if I got half of the questions right. I don't know what I was thinking, but all I did was study my lab manual. It never occurred to me that maybe JUST maybe the test would be on the other experiments we did in class!!! Duh!!
The only parts of the lab practical that were in the lab manual were the parts of the microscope and one set of questions about fungi. FML! I am really sad because I was doing really well in my biology lecture class. I have straight A's on all the tests and quizzes in there. But biology lab is half of my grade so the average of a 60 and a 90 is a 75. That sucks! I can't even look at my notes to see what the right answers were. At least I will know what to expect on the next practical, the only problem is there are only two!! I should stop freaking out. A bad grade isn't the end of the world. Its just that I really want to transfer, and getting bad grades is no way to do that. I just need to get good grades in the other classes to balance out this one I guess..

  1. Bummer about your lab practical. You should meet with your teacher about it and see if she has some study tips for the next one.
