Gimme a Break

Everything has been so sad for my husband and I for the last couple of weeks, that I need to talk about the good news too. I ended the semester with two A's and two B's. One of the B's was in Pharmacology which is only a two hour class, so I'll keep my GPA up. It's so hard going from a 4.0 student to getting B's, but I'm going to have to let that go. Everyone in my class will continue on next semester, and that's awesome, but a few failed Pharm. The only reason they'll get to continue, is because the schedule worked out so that they can take it again next semester. These are the same students who barely made it in the other classes by the skin of their teeth. I don't know how they'll handle it next semester when things are going to get a lot harder and faster paced. Some of these are kids who are newly married, working full time, and trying to take some prereqs they didn't get done. I don't know how they do it at all. Everyone in the class would do anything we could to help them, but the weird thing is, they don't ask. Maybe they're just too overwhelmed, but I think finals were a big wake up call. I'm excited to start the new semester, and hope I do really well. I love the clinical instructor I got, and the Med/Surg instructor is really good. I think it's going to be a fun year.
