So I've almost had all of my classes, except for Pathophysiology tomorrow and then my subsequent labs for Health Assessment & Foundations of Nursing, but I'm gonna be honest...

despite feeling COMPLETELY overwhelmed, which ebbs and flows on the severity with which I flip, I'm kind of feeling.. dare I say.. confident that I'll be okay.

Granted, I have to have an average of at least 78% in all 5 of my classes to even be able to pass (no exaggeration - if I don't have a 78% test average, even if I did outstanding in the other aspects of the class, they will count that as a failed attempt). Granted, that I'll have to take a bajillion tests and all my final exams will be cumulative. Granted, I'll be bathing people & God only knows what else, because I can't just skip all this to get to what I want to do. Granted, my days basically all start at 8 in the morning and I'll have little to no social life once the ball starts rolling.

Despite ALL OF THAT, I feel like it's manageable... which might mean that I'll fail, because usually if you're confident, that's when you do poorly. I don't really have a back up plan if Nursing doesn't work out, so I'm kind of tempted to drop one of my classes, but then I'll be pushed back a lot, because these 5 are necessary to even attempt hospital work/clinicals. Apparently, I have to take two summer classes involving Nursing.. like it's a legitimate requirement. Goodbye, summer 2012. If the world ends, I'll have summer 2011 to look back on fondly.

Maybe it's because Pharmacology today seemed pretty interesting.. then again, I did kind of start almost dozing off during that last hour, but I think I can manage. I hope I can. I'd hate to get this far just to end up falling on my face when I'm finally almost sure of myself & my abilities.

Here's to studying during my free time (and tumblring and facebooking when I please) and going through money like it's no object. These silly classes all have Powerpoints and I wish to succeed, so I print them all.

By the way, an 84 in Nursing? That's considered a C to FGCU. #lolth

Let's go!
