Our scores are up for our Nur 110 test from Tuesday, and this girl managed to get an 88%! Very happy with that score! I have decided that B is my new A! Not that I don't really really really like having As, but I just know that I'm going to beat myself up too much if I strive to make an A on everything. If I get a B, I consider that pretty darn good, and if I get an A, well then its just like extra frosting on my cake with a big scoop of ice cream on top!! Also, it takes a lot of the pressure off of the final because I don't need to worry about getting a perfect score on it to be able to pass the class, which is always lovely!
Today, I just went and sat at Panera all day and read our chapter on cancer for Pathophysiology. I would like to finish up one more chapter tonight before Grey's Anatomy comes on, but that might be pushing it. I have to know what happens after last season's CRAZY finale. Ugh, I had just gotten my acceptance letter not too long before that episode came on with the crazy gunman shooting up the whole hospital. It's already bad enough I'm going to be terrified walking into the hospital for clinicals, please don't put ideas in my head that I might get shot while I am there!
On a side note, it is kind of weird to think about the fact that it hasn't really been that long since that episode was on. At that time, I had no idea what exactly would happen with school, what things I would need to do, or buy. And it seemed like FOREVER until school would actually start! I could only imagine what things were going to be like. So now that I am well into my first semester of nursing school, I have to say it isn't quite what I thought it would be just yet.
I mean, I knew it would be hard and require an insane amount of studying, but I guess I just thought we would be learning more skills right away, and that hasn't really happened. We have been going over oral medication administration with our 4th semester mentors, but that seems pretty simple to me. I know the skills with be flooding in soon enough, but the theory stuff is just so boring to me!
Also, I got a letter today saying I am eligible to join Phi Theta Kappa, which is an honors society. That was like an extra little perk to my day. It's taken me a year to get my GPA up from under 2.0 to over 3.5, and I am darn proud of it. I have gotten As in all the classes I have taken since Summer 2009, and retook some classes that I did poorly in due to a huge lack of time. I tried to get grade forgiveness for one class that is no longer offered, but it was denied for some reason.....whatever!
In other news, Mike got his promotion at work FINALLY! And this one comes with a raise! He deserved this! He has done so well since he started with this company 3 years ago. It's been a good week here!
