F%*^!

That test was complete crap. I feel I am a pretty smart girl, and I studied my butt off, and I feel like there is a good possibility I may not be getting a C on this test. I know I typically fret, and worry like I did horrible on tests, only to come out looking like a jerk because I got an A. But this test was on a different level, the wording was completely designed to not be obvious. And its confusing, we need to apply and think critically when looking at these questions, but then we aren't supposed to over-think them either. And it bothered me when there were several questions that my friends answered one way, and I answered completely different. I know I need to stop fretting over it because, ya never know, I could have done fine. And there is nothing I can do to change it, this test is done and over with.



We are going over the test during our next lecture, and hopefully that will give me insight on what I was doing wrong during studying. She also told us that if we would like, she can send our tests over to the testing center to be analyzed, and they could help us with strategies for test taking. If you fail the test, you are required to have a one on one with the teacher.....lovely. I know this should be a good thing, and that she will be able to help you get a better grasp on things. I just know I will feel horribly shamed if I end up having to do that.

So a couple of my nursing buddies and I went out for lunch and drinks to help destress. It definitely helped, but no amount of booze is going to make me not worry. The test scores will be posted by Friday, so that's only 3 days of anxiety. Plus the 6 days of anxiety for our patho test on Monday. So, right now, I am taking a nap, because I am exhausted, and I know I will be completely useless if I try to do any reading/studying right now. My mind just needs a break, and then I will go full force into my studying.

Again.................F*%*!!!!!!
