Ok, I'm afraid I just need to vent a little bit this morning.
I'm really, really having the hardest time with this semester of school. I have never put in so many hours, and still had such problems in any class ever! I know that I was warned before taking Anatomy that it was really hard, but I had no idea that it was so impossible.
The way that the Nursing Program works at UVU is that they look at you GPA and you TEAS test score (which I will be taking one week from today) and they assign you a number corilating with the number of points that you have earned according to these two items. In order to be competitive you need a 3.85 (at least) GPA, and recieve an 80 or higher on you TEAS score. I'm finally to the point that I can apply for fall semester, and now I'm so worried that I'm not going to get in all because of this stupid class. And worse, If I don't get a least a C in all my classes, then I am no-longer able to get financial aid.
The last two quizes in lecture had an average of 6% and 8%. My teacher then procceded to tell us that he expects more out of us, and that we are not trying hard enough. I really very nearly started crying right there and then. Bottomline, Anatomy quiz questions should test your knowledge of Anatomy. Not stupid trick questions.
Thank goodness for Greg right now. I completely broke down on Monday, and really appreciate all the support he has been giving me. He gave me some great advice yesterday; don't make it personal or emotional. Just do your best, and what happens, happens.
So anyway, this next month is going to be insane! I'm giving Anatomy the bird, and I'm going to kick it where the sun doesn't shine....really hard. Haha. Anyway, that's my drama, and thankfully it will all be over in a month.
Peace, I'm out.
Hey Kat! I am so sorry about school...sometimes it can be the biggest pain in the BUTT! When I take math classes I feel just like you, I work my butt off and when I don't do well I just want to scream!! Your teacher also sounds like kind of a jerk which definitley doesn't help :( If you ever need to vent or just get away let me know and I can come kidnap you for a couple hours!! Later chica!
ReplyDeleteCan't say that I envy you right now. I'm so glad I'm not in school. I do hope things go better and you give Anatomy are real bruise in the pants. I'm sad that we don't really get to see each other anymore, especially since I'm leaving in 2 weeks!
