"How many nursing students are here?" My microbiology professor asks in our first lab section. Almost everyone raises their hands, except for me and a couple of other people.
A few labs later, yesterday, I come up to him at the end, and ask, "Any parting words of wisdom?" We have a midterm on the 30th, or on Tuesday.
He is about to say "study," but then stops himself. A few other students circle around him as well, ready to listen. "Microbiology is not a complex subject, you just have to put your time in. You need to be in the 92nd percentile if you want to be a nursing student."
Damn, I thought. Good thing I don't want to be a nursing student. I just want a Ph.D.!
"I know!" One of the women says. "I'm right there! I can't afford to let this class drag me down!" She's always very nervous. We took chemistry together. She was nervous then too.
