Another semester almost finished

Time seems to fly like never before when classes are in full swing! This semester has gone faster than ever and I've really enjoyed my classes for the most part. I'm bummed that I didn't get an A in an EASY music class, but that was my own fault. it took a back burner to science and math classes so I didn't get all of my work done. So I have a B in that class. I'm on the edge between an A and a B in Chemistry and A&P right now which means I'm going to study harder than ever for good grades on my finals. I've GOT to get A's in both classes in order to feel like I've even got a chance of getting into TWU nursing school.

NURSING SCHOOL APPLICATION TIME! That's right, as soon as I finish taking Statistics over the winter term (argh), I'm eligible to apply to TWU's Nursing program. I'm also apply to Brookhaven, but my first choice is TWU of course. Honestly, I know I'll be near the bottom of both lists as far as acceptance goes, but Lord willing I'll get into one of them for entrance next fall. I'm SOOO excited that I've gotten this far, but I'm also trying to remain realistic about getting into either school the first time around in applying.

I need to take the NET exam next month for the TWU application and will take the HESI exam in Jan/Feb sometime for the Brookhaven app. Then there are the vaccinations to get up to date, a CPR class, background checks...etc.. once I know I've been accepted to either school.

Now it's time to decide what to take for classes next semester. I could take it kind of easy, and I might just do that and then work part time somewhere. I do know I'll be taking Pathophysiology at TWU, another Math class and probably TX history. The question is, should I retake A&P I to get my grade up to an A (from a B)? The only reason I would need to do that is if I don't get into one of the schools next fall, then it will be an improvement in my grade. Decisions. I'll talk to a couple of instructors and get their opinions.

IF...and IF...and IF...

If I get into TWU and IF I've taken the above classes, then there will only be one more class to take over the summer (women's studies)! Then a short break to get my house spic and span clean and organized before going "under the water" with nursing classes. I've heard and completely believe, that once nursing classes begin, there isn't time for anything else. I feel that way a lot right now anyway, which scares the _____ out of me!

I WANT to get into one of the programs next fall so badly!! I'm going to ask everyone I know to pray with me about that. If I don't get in for the fall, I'll definitely retake a couple of classes over the summer for higher grades.

So...that's the future. Right now I need to focus on finals!
