Study TIme!

So, I've had a hectic week these past two weeks.  Week before last we had two test on Monday, a head to toe health assessment check off on Thursday (which I passed with flying colors), and then our health assessment final on Friday.  By Friday night I was so frazzled that I thought I'd come down with a case of alopecia (hair loss).  I made it through the week though only to find out I missed the mark and will have to repeat the course. UGH!!!!  This is heart breaking.  I feel like a failure.  But if I'm being 100% truthful, I have no one to blame but myself.  I was always the student who never had to study. Through my A&P classes, Biology, Microbiology, and all the other classes I've had to take up to this point I've never studied for the first test.  I'd go in and come out of the the class with nothing lower than a B.  But this first semester of Nursing School has shown me that is not going to be the case any further.  After I made a D on my first test I have started trying to teach myself to study.  This is proving to be harder than I thought.  It's like teaching an old dog a new trick.  I'm more determined than ever now though.  I will bring this up!  I will do GREAT this semester! And when I retake Health Assessment next semester I'm going to knock it out of the park.  Just watch me :).
