So Glad That Is Over....whatever....

So, I am finally done with this semester....PHEW!!! I took two very difficult classes, and guess what? I only have to repeat one! Yay me! The counselor who advised me that combining Biology with any class was a bad idea, was right. That class was entirely miserable, and so much harder than it really needed to be. I was in this class with some fairly young people, and they were struggling horribly as well. I scored D's on every single test I took. Such a horrible blow to my self confidence, I tell you. I have not EVER done so poorly in a class that I have put so much effort into. I was so frustrated by this course that I burst into tears in the middle of the final, I just knew I was going to fail. I had spent 3 days solid studying for this final, and very little of the covered material was anywhere to be found on that test paper. I was devastated and completely demoralized. My grade was posted by Friday, I got a C, 74.7%, to be exact. I contacted the instructor to see if there was any possible way that I could do some extra research or a paper or anything along those lines to bump me up another 2%, but alas, no, there was nothing to be done. So now instead of getting to apply for the nursing program in August, I will have to wait until December. So, what's another year, eh? I have a goal in sight and I guess I will just keep jumping through hoops until I reach the end. I just hope they don't change book editions between now and Fall semester. I have to have a C+ or better to even get on the waiting list, or to apply for any of the programs available. I managed to pull a C+ out of Anatomy, so I won't have to retake that one, but if I continue with the C's, I won't be able to get in anywhere because there are plenty of people with A's and B's that will get in over me with my bare minimum. So that is my academic life in a nutshell right now....in a holding pattern. I am signed up for Chemistry and Physiology for Summer semester, hopefully this semester goes better than my last...
