I finished my 4th semester. I am now officially half way through school. I found this funny pic one day and thought it was fitting. This was my hardest semester so far. I had four classes and two labs to stay on top of. Two of my classes had very heavy homework every week. Lots of long papers every week. Also lots of posting on discussion boards and replying on discussion boards which couldn't happen until Friday and Saturday so I had a lot of weeks where I had school every day but Sunday. That was draining. Previous semesters I usually had Saturdays and Sundays off every week. The other difference was that I worked a lot more. It was made known right when the semester started that Lowry Doors wasn't doing so hot so it was a stressful start to the semester. I worked every shift I could. The blessing is that it helped pay for the tires and brakes.
The other hard part of the semester was that I didn't pass my women's health exam. I was completely devastated because I went in feeling confident and comfortable that I would pass. I did well on all of the practice exams. I was one percent away from passing. It hurt and I cried a lot for a few days. Then slowly I got over it.
I applied for ten scholarships but didn't get any of them. The good news is that I ended with straight As so I still have a 4.0. I hope I can keep that up!
