I’ve been a little frustrated this week. Frustrated with this program, with myself, and with life I suppose. Only 3 weeks left in this semester. Each assignment I turn in is 1 less standing in my way. At my RN student friends house we tried to accomplish what we could. I was at my wit’s end and called her up to ask if she would be ok with me coming over to study…. She saves me fairly often, and I mustered up the drive to turn 3 assignments in today and a big care plan project to knock out tomorrow. My Lpn student friend is down state for Thanksgiving, trying to make time and stay focused on passing this semester. I don’t want to think about the next semester; I can’t handle that. Just get me to half time.
Side note: That girl I called out last week made it a point to be nice to our class mates afterwards, and a point that I should see her being such a good person. So ask me again if I regret msging her, because I don’t. Sometimes people need to be called out by others and not allowed to misbehave. Maybe society should think a little more like that, and a little less like “mind your own business.” I was professional, but I called her out in a private manner and that’s how it should be done at least at first. If that doesn’t work, depending on the situation, it’s ok to take things to the next level, as in to your superior etc.
Back to the pressing issues: I was loaned a pharmacology book by an instructor several weeks back. I appreciated the jesture and I had every intention of studying pharmacology on the side of the other classes this semester, but I haven’t been retaining the important information I read, and honestly I haven’t read near as much as I thought I could, and would. So now I have to give the book back to this individual and admit, or try not to, that hauling that large book around on the side has been a big waste of time. If I fail next semester, due to substandard pharmacology knowledge, then I fail. Its really a huge shame that the mentality of certain instructors is that “you should know this and you shouldn’t be asking me such a basic question right now.” Ok, great, because if we can avoid looking foolish or asking questions then we will.
Did I ever mention that the first time I applied for this program they denied me? Their special calculated grade put me at a 2.941 GPA and I needed a 3.0 to get in….. My REAL GPA was approx. 3.63, and I was denied after meeting all their other qualifications. So 5k and 6 more months of my life later I had taken political science and medical terminology, graduated from their college with honors under the name of associates in liberal arts and truly truly dared them to deny me one more time. Unfortunately they never gave me such a satisfaction. The veins of failure and Injustice run deep here. I better get my education before I decide whether or not to start an IV solution with some strict NS.
