Well
I am now 2 tests in, so that's 4 weeks now. I did good on my first Patho/Pharm
test and fuckng bombed the second. I am finding out that being 30 and going to
an accelerated program is fucking hard. I learn differently and cant study the
way that I used to…no more the day before. I need to start DAYS before the
test. Luckily the tests aren’t cumulative but holy crap this has got me scared.
On a side note Im doing incredibly well in our classes that have labs. If only
Patho/Phrm could be hands on, I would nail this class with flying colors. I
hate lectures because I cant seem to focus, I get bored real fast. But when I get
to be hands on its so much more interesting.
Well
I guess this is my wake up call. I have 3 more tests and 2 papers to write to
fix my grade. I’m not failing the class but I’m close. You need a 74% average
to pass the course…well all the courses. Time to put my nose to the grind stone
and get cracking!! Luckily I’m meeting with a teaching/learning counselor to
find better ways to study based on my learning style.
On
a less crapy note, I love the school fitness center. Its fun to watch all the
undergrads lift and get big. The best is watching some small guy who thinks he
can lift and has the worst form. I’ll take a picture next time.
As
I’m writing all this there is a huge storm rolling through, major thunder and lightning.
Its so very different from California. It literally is flooding here, if only
we could make a pipeline stretching to CA to transfer all this water. I don’t think
CA would be so dehydrated and parched.
It
feels so much better to get all this off my chest. This program is tough but I
know I can do this. I just need to prioritize my time better.
Oh
I almost forgot…I had soo much fun at the Ed Sheeran concert I went to this
past weekend. Met some really cool people, some fellow nurses who work at the
hospital I will be doing my clinicals. Hopefully I get them as my preceptor!! I
actually don’t remember the concert too much since we were people watching or
should I say kid watching. So many freaking 13-16 year old girls there. And I got
drunk so it was way more fun!!
Ok
back to the grindstone. Loves ya
