I survived!

The craziest semester of college I've had (and probably ever will have) is FINALLY OVER... and I survived (passed) by God's grace. I still have to find out one more grade for my families class, but pretty sure I got a B.  so that's 1 A and 3 B's for the semester.  I am totally happy with that :) Couldn't have done it without the help of my nursing classmates, either.

BIG SIGH.  I can't believe it's over. I feel like I should be studying for preparing for something!  hehe.  It's going to be so nice to relax for 2 weeks before summer classes start :)  

To God be the Glory :)

It's almost here!!!

My first year is ALMOST over... soooo close I can almost taste it... I'm not sure I'll even know what to do with myself! (well, for 2 weeks anyway, before it's back to class).  Nothing to study or clinicals to prepare for! Whew.  We finished 5 exams on wednesday (family and pharm, along with the 3 corresponding ATI tests).  We have 2 more on Monday (adult and patho) and they're both cumulative :(  However, even that can't bring my mood down right now.  Found out I somehow got an A in pharmacology for the semester (thank you Lord!).  Dr. Howe did give us quite a few bonus points :) I was so sure I wouldn't get an A in any class this semester!  Also, I had a great day in the NICU. My nurse's patients were quadruplets. It's amazing...these tiny little miracles!  So cool! and the nurses were so wonderful.  I really liked it, and it's something I would think about in the future, for sure.  Now its off to study for finals on Monday... :)

13 days..13 days...13 days..

I keep repeating that in my head over and over... 13 more days!!! Ahhhhh! : ) Well, there's still a lot to do between now and then, including 3 more clinical days, 8 exams, and a TON of studying.  I spent the weekend at Farmor's, and got very little accomplished school wise, but it was a nice break.  Sometimes you just have to take a step back away from it all, then get back into it feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the the books!

He is Risen

He is Risen, indeed!

Went to church service with the Cubits in the a.m., followed by a fellowship meal.  Afterwards took a long 3-4 hour nap, since I was exhausted.  Now to finish studying for this exam tomorrow, VA interview tuesday, and another exam wednesday, and back to back clinicals Thursday and Friday.  Oh boy.  By God's grace I will hopefully make it through the next 3 weeks without having a breakdown :)  I am so thankful for my CNC group, without them, I don't know how I'd make it through the semester.   It's gonna be a late night...

Clear the stage

 

motivational boost

Soooo, I posted earlier how I was having problems finding motivation to finish out the semester strong... I totally got my motivation back :) by God's grace, got my FIRST A of the semester in Pathophysiology!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I may or may not have done a happy dance around my room and giggled like a maniac =D

Now off to study for Pharmacology exam tomorrow! :) :) :)

diagnosis

I have self-diagnosed myself with early-onset senioritis.  I still have one more month of nursing school...and I'm finding it harder to motivate myself to really study.  Not that I'm not studying, cause I definitely am.  I guess it's more just being tired of looking at textbooks all day long everyday.  After all, I was supposed to graduate t his spring originally :) before I got setback a year.

In things non-nursing school, I did go to universal yesterday which was a fun break from studying.  Too many people though.  I don't know if I'm going to renew my pass when it expires in September.  It was nice to have it for a year, but I had my fill of the rollercoasters there.  What they need a Six Flags in Orlando... I'd get a year pass for that :)
