My school highly recommends (and may require it in the future) taking a statistics course. In order for me to take stats I needed to complete algebra. Math 99, or the slower paced sequence of 91 and 92, isn't even college level math but is the final math pre req before stats. I chose the 91 and 92 over two quarters and got a D in 92 in Winter 2013 quarter so I repeated it over the summer and passed with a C!!! This is a huge relief because math has been a giant pain for me (almost as much as financial aid has). In all I took 3 algebra classes and two of them I took twice so 5 quarters of math total- high school math at that! I am thrilled to be done with it. I hear stats is pretty rough but I won't be taking it until Spring 2014 so I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I also took nutrition this quarter and got a B+. This class isn't required for my school's program but it is at almost every other school and since I'll need to apply to multiple schools I figured I'd just get it out of the way.
This is also a good time to reflect on this journey so far. I can't believe how far I've come and almost nothing went as planned. Pre req's typically take about a year but I'm sitting at 2 years (and counting!) right now. As of right now, if everything goes ideally, I will be entering the nursing program this time next year. A whole 'nother year away... Wow. I have moments all the time where I think about just giving up because this has been so much harder than I ever thought. But my determination kicks in and I refuse to give up. After repeating anatomy this next quarter, I only have physiology and microbiology left. I've completed over 90 credits in college so far (which must equal some sort of degree) and I'm literally only 2 classes away from applying. Praying for no repeats but I will need at least a B in both classes, and yes, I will be more than willing to repeat to get the grade I need if necessary because I really have come so far.
