Way in over my head....

School is kicking my butt right now. I took a test yesturday that I thought was over chapters 7-12. I was wrong. The test was over chapters 10-19. I haven't even read the chapters 13-19! Halfway through the test I realized the res of the questions was over materials I wasn't supposed to read yet (so I thought). I was actually pretty pissed off at the teacher for throwing them in there. Then, I took another look at the syllabus and saw that I totally messed up. I guess the way the teacher wrote her notes for each chapter lead me to believe what chapters to study. Anyhow, it was a really big mistake that didn't really make a difference on my test. I think I would have done much better if I would have read those chapters, but I made an 88. Which is pretty good since more than half of the chapters I didn't read yet. Knowing a little bit of medical stuff from working in the Air Force has really been helping me out. Now that I know my mistake, I am going to start on the chapters I should be on and skip those chapters I didn't read. Now I feel like I'm much farther in the class. :)

I need to figure out something to keep me on track with classes. So many classes and so many dates and chapters to remember. I think I'm gonna get a small dry erase board and keep it on the desk. Maybe a tac board if I can find one small enough. Anyhow, I'm considering not taking all of the classes next semester. We'll see though.

We all make mistakes,Lacey, but it's good when we learn something from them.

It's better to slow down and take longer to complete school than to rush and fail.
