Thankful Thursday: I passed!

You guys, I passed my chemistry class!!!!

I took my last two exams yesterday, and I am DONE. I can’t believe it. When I hit “submit” on that two-hour final (which did indeed take me almost two hours!) and saw that I passed, I almost cried with relief. Whewwwwww!

I have spent almost every spare minute these last three weeks working through a semester’s worth of modules and tests, and I am thrilled that I will get so much of my life back now.

Also, yay me that I finished it all before having to pay for another month of a StraighterLine subscription. 😉

I would definitely not recommend StraighterLine for any course where you are actually going to need to use the information in the future (Anatomy and Physiology for nursing students, as an example). It’s really just not an ideal way to thoroughly learn material.

Also, there were definitely a number of errors and glitches, such as the one in the photo below.

straighterline broken image. — This makes me giggle, because ummmm, how am I supposed to know???

But for a subject that, for me, is just a hoop to jump through, the experience was ok.

And it is behind me now. Oh my goodness, I am so happy! I am going to cheerfully recycle all of my chemistry notes (or maybe I will burn them).

Ok, so, aside from that, this week I am thankful:

that next week looks to be more pleasant

So far this week, I have survived colonoscopy prep, finished my chemistry class, and also, it’s that time of the month. How many more un-fun things could I squeeze into a few short days???

Next week is looking like a major upgrade from this one! And I am so thankful to have some of these unpleasant things behind me now.

for beautiful fall colors

Forever and always a fan of fall!

that my new one-credit class looks pretty easy

I was short one credit for graduating in the spring, so I am taking a little eight-week, one-credit class about health and nutrition in fitness. It started this week, and the homework looks pretty dang easy.

Also, some of this testable material is stuff that I already know really well…like how many calories are in a gram of carbs, protein, alcohol, and fat (4, 4, 7, and 9!).

Soo, I don’t think this one is going to eat up too much of my time.

that there are only about six weeks left in the semester

The community college semester ends a week after my BSN school, but I’m pretty sure I can work ahead and finish those two classes the same week my BSN school ends.

So, I’m going with the idea that I have six weeks left. 🙂

for my volunteering friends

My two nursing school study buddies invited me to go volunteer at a medical tent for a marathon, and I said yes because it is always fun to hang out with them.
