Feeling the Stress

Why do I do this to myself? I am studying a part of the nervous system and am having a very hard time with it. Can't even formulate a good question. When I left class yesterday afternoon and got to work, I couldn't take my mind off of the fact that I may get to a point that I have to admit to myself that this pre-nursing program is academically more than my "seasoned" brain can handle. Especially when I read the section in my text book on aging and its effect on cognition and other brain functions. I was on the verge of tears.

But, then, morning came today and I have a much more positive outlook on the whole thing. A nice sunny day sure helped, I must add. I decided to use a tutor as I did last quarter, and to do my very best. I've got a solid "B" going for the course right now, and it certainly isn't a foregone conclusion that the grade will drop below that level by the end of the term. And, if it does, I just have to work harder when I get to A&P III. The bottom line is, that until I quit, they (whoever they are) are going to have to tell me that my grades aren't high enough to get into the nursing course and kick me out! Until they do, I'm in the game!

Things always look brighter after some time to reflect.
Cheers!
