It's been a while since I've posted but only because I have been busy plugging away at my classes which have taken a giant leap from "do-able" to "OMG-this is freaking hard!". I completed my final algebra class during the summer in order to start the final leg of my pre- nursing journey. After a year of math, I am so excited but equally apprehensive about my first "real" pre-nursing class: chemistry.
Oh, and this is where it starts getting hard and extremely important. No pressure, right?
.... Fast forward 4 weeks later....
What in the hell was I thinking!? I've read and have been warned by many that some of the pre req's are actually harder than some of the nursing classes and that I will encounter MANY times where I am ready to give up and just say F--k this!! Well, I am having those days about once a week right now. Being such a competitive program of study, I can clearly see why and how some people are weeded out. I've never been the best at anything, no matter how hard I try, as long as I'm not the worst, I am OK with being average. So here I sit having "one of those days" where I'm questioning my likely hood of succeeding. One has to really want this in order to succeed and I am not lacking in that category but I am starting to realize 'the want' is not enough.
So as of right now I am less than 1 week from my chemistry midterm with my grade teetering between a C+ and a B-.
I may be crazy to think that I can actually do this but I definitely haven't come this far to quit so here goes everything I've worked so hard for along with a wish and a prayer....
