Well, that was a rough one. In its defense, everyone from the very beginning had said that the third semester would be the one to make you want to throw yourself into a bathtub with a toaster. I was actually extremely lucky in that all of my Terrible stemmed solely from nursing school. Take away nursing school and things were pretty good for me. Those around me had chronic illnesses get worse, houses catch fire, uncovered infidelity, lost pets, got divorced, and were hit by drunk drivers. It was like the whole universe conspired to TAKE EVERYONE DOWN.
If you’re still keeping score, I did manage to eek another A out of this semester. I have been told time and time again that NO ONE ACTUALLY CARES if you squeeze a 4.0 out of nursing school, but to get so close and get a B at this point would be a major bummer. I am so close to the end now. Just have to power through! Four months and 7 days until the last final!
