Sept 15th - long week

I am sure this will be the first of many. I wonder if this week did not feel longer than usual because of the 5th anniversary of Sept 11.  One thing I noticed personally is that it affected me more than I thought it would.  I felt heavy and sad.  I noticed people were on edge more that usual.  Not sure if I was being hypersensitive on that one.

It was also a week of exams. 

 I had an A&P exam on Monday.  I got a 93.  I was not unhappy.  One thing I have noticed is  fierce grade competition.  I used to be like that too.  But this time....I am more concerned with knowing the material.  If I can get the A and the errors I made were stooopid but I knew the material I feel good.  I am not ignoring my errors but actually learning from them.  Like what kind of error did I make, why did I make it, how can I prevent that from happening agian.  I have an incredible amount on my plate....so I am considering this good learning....because there will be overwhelming times to come.  I want to be mentally ready.

I had a quiz in orientation. I don't know my score but I don't feel that I did very well....I am more upset with that one because I don't feel I knew the material as well as I should.  Example.  I knew the Erikson's 8 stages and Maslow's Hiearchy of Needs.....but I forgot the names (Erikson, Maslow).  I am hoping maybe there will be partial credit somewhere.  I drew the hierarchy and the the 8 stages by the question.  rrgh.

I had another quiz in A & P which I scored....are you sitting down...aaaaa 100%  woooooot!  I know my body parts.  This one was labeling.  I know that stuff. 

I have two papers due in 2 weeks.  One is a book report...no problem.  And the other is on Forensic Nursing.  Do we have any Forensic Nurses out there?

Oh and lastly.....for some reason I cannot figure out.  They accepted 2 of my higher Englishs for transfer.....but not my Freshman English.....because it was sooooo looong ago.  Ya think?  I cannot figure this logic BUT they gave me the opportunity to test out.  I got a 96% on a comprehensive exam!!  Woooooot!  This is a great relief.

Now I have to test out of psychology (although I have higher level psychologies) and sociology (same situation)....go figure. I am a little more concerned about those.....but hopefully it will be ok.  I am thinking I will go to B&N with my gift card (thank you Steve!) and get some cliff notes.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
