I’ll pretend.

I’m not in an especially pleasant mood right now, but I’ll pretend.

The sun is shining and I drove around with my window down earlier. I picked up my taxes and dropped off my timesheet and picked up my paycheck. I went to the petstore and got crickets for Alix. I emailed the psych and soc profs about the transgender awareness panel that Allies is getting together. I emailed Dr S about looking over some of my submissions for the writing festival. And responded to her about being a guest speaker for 2 of her classes. I fed the cats and I took out the garbage.

I got my daycare packet back from Liz yesterday- we had to do a whole pack of articles and calculations and whatnot, as well as an APA formatted paper about the specific observations we were to have made. On my paper she wrote “Are you a future pediatric nurse??” eheh. And on my pediatric calculations, she wrote “You did an excellent job with these calculations” So.

Unless I majorly fuck up in clinical, which is highly unlikely since we barely do anything anyways…I will definately pass that. And it’s a pass/fail class, so. As of now, my pharm grade is a 95% and there are still 40 more homework points, 30 more med application sheet points, and 30 more attendance points. So far I’ve gotten 10/10 on all of the homeworks and I haven’t missed a class, and I got a 9/10 on the application sheet. So I think if I go to every class and continue with my current homework grades and get 10’s on my last 3 clinical app sheets, I can probably mess up pretty royally on the last exam and still get a B. But I don’t plan on that, so hopefully I’ll get an A.

Poetry….I worry about. I mean, I know my stuff is relatively good. But I’ve only gotten 2 check plusses so far, and I haven’t turned -everything- in. So I’m worried about getting a B instead of an A in that class. :o/

And as for the Nursing Process class…I dunno….I just barely eeked a B out of the first exam, and there are 2 more. PLUS a cumulative final. And those are the only points we get in that class. lalala. So with any luck I’ll pull a B, but I’m betting on a C. Which would make me sad because I don’t think I’d make dean’s list then. I’m not sure how they figure in pass/fail grades. Plus, I believe that Pharm is only 2 credits, and Process is 4. Or maybe process is 3 and clinical is 4. Regardless. The bottom line is that I HAVE to get a B in Process or there’s no chance of Dean’s list. And I’d -really- like to make it this semester. I don’t know why. I just would. Maybe to prove to the program that they made the right choice in letting me back in? Maybe for personal edification, to prove to myself that I made the right choice in going back? Maybe just to hear mum say she’s proud of me again? *shrugs*

It is kind of interesting tho, everyone kind of bemoanes how difficult pharm is and…it’s like…really not. I mean….you have to read the book and do the homework. And I do have to study for exams. But…gawd…Liz pretty much gives us half the exam questions during lecture, with her “Gee. If I were a student, I’d really want to remember this” or “Put a star by that. Put two stars by it. And underline it.” And she flat out tells us what the bonus questions will be….She, in a sense, hands us our grade, if we pay attention. Although, many of the people in Pharm are also in A&P right now *and* in Developmental Psych, as well as Clinical and Process. I can see, then, how it would be a really difficult course to pass. lah.

I wish they’d put the class schedule out for next semester. I need to figure out if I will be able to stay full time or if I am just going to have to go part and hope I get enough loanage to do so.

I should go be productive now.
