Block 3 is a killer apparently... although I am pretty sure 4 will be as well. So yeah 12 people missing from last block. 3 new faces added to the mix. The girl that I sat next to today transferred into our group from the night class and she said they lost 9 from their group as well. There is also 1 other cohort that is the traditional day program and I have no idea if they lost anyone, but wow, just wow. That was way more than I had expected.
It was also weird because despite being in the same room this semester, half of the group decided to change up their seating, subsequently I had to change my seat.
It was all kinds of weird!
Have I mentioned this semester is going to suck!

Full Concentration on NS
This is it and it's all about this semester. I am trying to avoid further distractions and get these next 4 months over and be successful so I can finally achieve that RN... I mean I have been looking forward to this since I was probably 4 years old.
I am not worried about weight loss and working out right now, because with school and work, there doesn't seem to be much time left over. Of course I won't break all the rules and pig out and stuff, but I will try not to obsess about the weight loss or exercise part, that might actually defeat the purpose and be causing more harm anyway.
So onward to Block 4- Senior year. Psych tomorrow, 12pm WOOT!

Comment moderation
Just so everyone is aware I have started to moderate comments on this site because of SPAM comments only. I had been receiving quite a few, oh and it makes it easier to see when I get a comment, so I can reply to your posts as well. I have missed a few when people comment against an old post of mine, and it makes me feel bad :-)

Final Grade SNAFU
Yesterday was just a day from hell and it got worse when at about 1100pm I checked to see if they had posted the final grades yet and lo and behold they had.
To what to my wondering eyes did appear? A huge fucking shock is what was there.
It was a big fat ...... C???
I immediately pulled out the syllabus, calculated my total points again and wow were they wrong! I tossed off an email to the lead teacher and pretty much fumed over it the rest of the night and since I was working at the time, it was a long night.
The good thing was they fixed it to the B it should have been this morning, no problem,but the lesson I took away from this... a C would KILL my GPA and ladies and gents I worked pretty dang hard and had too many sleepless days to see it tank!
So C may = degree but NEVER in my book does that make it OK.

Do over
So I am heading out soon to retake my Peds Math Practicum that I failed liked a big dog earlier in the month. It's the last step to actually officially passing Block 3. So last night I reviewed all the formulas, the steps, and such... and they actually just slid right into my head like butter.
When I tried to do this the week before it was like NOTHING would stick and the simplest things felt like I was running into a brick wall over and over again.
Was it emotional stress that was blocking me or lack of sleep and rest?
I hope I can get all of this new semester's information to sink in just as easily.
***update**
That's done and passed. Nothing in front of me except Block 4!!
Now to get that final grade posted so I can submit it to work and get some frigging money!!!

The big crash
Emotionally speaking that is. It seems I am in the midst of my annual emotional meltdown and anxiety/panic ridden bottom out after riding the stress train that is school.
It seems to happen after every stress filled class is over. After LPN graduation it happened. After that Chemistry class from hell ended it happened, and once again it has happened.
I guess the good news is the let down will not be long until the stress builds up again next week.
But this sucks!!!
Anyone that has dealt with depression before will know, but this sudden low low makes it nearly impossible to concentrate and I feel this weird feeling of despair mixed with overwhelming anxiety and panic.
I wonder if the stressed out feeling and the reason I am getting through, what others seem to think is impossible, is because the stress comes with an emotional high that propels me through the lack of sleep related to working full-time and school full-time?
Hummm... sounds a little Bipolar doesn't it? Well whatever it is, I am breaking down and hitting up the doctor and perhaps getting on some meds to help avoid the crash next time.
