Dissapointment

It's been a while since my last post. But I really need to vent a bit, as I am hitting a tough patch of road. First, Microbiology lecture and lab are not going as well as I'd like for them to be. Not that the material isn't interesting, and I've got an "A" going so far, but the test Wednesday seems to be coming too soon for my level of understanding. My instructors aren't very engaged in what they teach, and things are not clear to me when I review my notes. So, I am not very confident about the Wedesday test, and that doesn't feel very good.

I've also run into snags in my attempt to enroll for winter quarter and, as is typical of a large bureaucracy, getting answers and action isn't easy. But to compound matters, I learned today that many of those like me who were accepted into this program a couple years ago or more, are all of a sudden showing renewed interest in finishing the prerequisites. The economy is pushing more people into school (as evidenced by my university's record enrollment for fall term) and as such they are filling the nursing cohorts (classes) out further than I had previously thought. It was a selling point for me that I could finish up my prerequisites and then get into nursing school in about 6 months. Looks like that may be in excess of 12 months now, and may be longer when I'm ready. That pushes all of my personal goals out further and further. And the calendar is not my friend.

Why can't all of this be easier! Quitting sounds very appealing on a day like today......

Cheers (or not!)
