The Worst Semester…

… is almost over.
Thank HEAVEN.

Basically, I’ve hated almost every stinking minute of this semester.
I started off the semester on the completely wrong foot, and never quite recovered.

I would say that due to all the stress surrounding my health at the beginning of the semester, coupled with my complete lack of motivation from day one, was the reason for my downfall. I bet, however, that I could have rallied after I found out that my optic nerves were back to normal, had it not been for the complete and TOTAL relapse of my RSD. After that lovely incident, my fate was sealed.

I’ve spent the ENTIRE semester in catch-up mode and also fighting to scrape a low A in each and every one of my stupid classes… even my beloved Spanish. Why? Absences. And, also? It’s real hard to study and do homework when you are either in pain (foot or head, take your pick) or are fighting to stay awake. The only reason that this semester was soooo much harder than the last was because of that. I have a lot of hard classes, but it shouldn’t have been as tough this semester as it has been.

I’ve probably told you before, but I’ll tell you again. I’m taking Cell Biology, General Chemistry II, Calculus I, and Spanish IV. I took my biology final this morning and I’m afraid that it didn’t go well at. all. I’m thinking I’ll be lucky to have gotten a high C. Realistically, I am pretty sure I got a 70%. I think I’ll be able to scrape the elusive A in the class…. but that all depends on how badly I did on the final. My other three finals are next week and I’ll be completely finished by next Wednesday. I. Cannot. WAIT. I’m pretty sure I’ll get the A’s in Chemistry and Spanish, but Calculus is a big question. I’ve been fighting all semester to get an A in that class all because I got a 70% on the very first test. I find out tonight what I got on the last chapter exam, and if I got an A on it, I will go into the final with an A. If not…. well, it’s going to be a rough go and it may not even be possible to get the A. (Seriously going crazy about that right now, so I’m not going to talk about it anymore thankyouverymuch.)

Why, why WHY am I am sooo hung up on getting A’s?
Believe it or not, it’s not because I am OCD. It’s because I want to get into pharmacy school on my FIRST attempt. And it’s tough to get into pharmacy school. So a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. And this semester? Well. It. has. completely. reeked.

I get a whole THREE day break before I start summer school.
Yes. I realize that I’m crazy.
But you have to realize that I’m desperate. And aging.
The sooner I get into pharmacy school the sooner those four years will pass by.
I’m thinking that I’ll be about 38 or 39 by the time I’ll be able to call myself of pharmacist.
Now you see my desperation, not to mention the fact that I’m aging fast.
Umyeah. I try not to think about it.

Moving on…
I had better get a nap in before I have to go to Calculus class tonight seeing how I only got about 2 hours sleep last night due to my last minute push to study for the disasterous biology final that I had this morning.
I promise that I’ll be back blogging very soon.
With pictures.
And some very funny stories about what I am doing to get some energy into my body.

Stay tuned.
