i'm scared

exam week coming up really soon, six exams in one week, holy crap, i've been freaking out about having one exam at a time and concentrating solely one that particular exam in order to pass,and now i have 6 in one week, thats 2 a day for a few of them.... help? anyone? didnt think so.
Had my assesment for clinical the other day, took mum in as my patient, passed that no worries, and got the results back for my human development exam got a 85% pass in that one, not great but it'll do.
At least when exam week is over i have a 4 week holiday before im back for the next unit, and at least unit 2 is only 4 papers instead of this units 6, but they are big papers so we'll see how we do. I will be having a 3week stint in a rest home for unit2 so that is something i am terrified of!!! when i am nursing i am not planning on having anything to do with old people, im not going to be on the wards i am going to be in the emergency room or theatre but i still have to do this rest home bussiness for my degree. blah. the one thing i never ever want to do is get old, and this is just going to set that into concrete for me i think.
anyways, i just thought id come in and say hi to everyone, i have had half free day at uni so am mucking around on the computer waiting for my next class. hope everyone is well and not catching any of those horrible winter flu's that are going around

yeah yeah.... ive been away for ages and i havnt written anything i know i know

so im back, and i have absolutely nothing to say. haha how ya like that?

ok ill find something to write,
today i had another exam, i know! it seems like all i do is sit exams, when the hell do i get the time to learn the content?? well for this exam i didnt, it was human development through the lifespan, cognitive, psychosocial and biosocial...... boring. i was interested in the early childhood stuff, because it explained sooo much about my brat, but then i got bored... no not bored... depressed, you see from there it goes to school years, then adolescence, then early adulthood, middle and late adulthood and then... DEATH AND DYING arrgghhh, all a bit dark and gloomy for me to be honest, i mean i know the five stages of accepting death already blah blah blah, but an exam on dying? (as well as lots of other stuff) Doesnt help that this particular tutor hates me. i mean it, when i missed out on a 100%exam result by half a mark i asked her where i missed it so i knew, she told me, and i pointed out that i had written that particular thing so she got all shitty and couldnt tell me where id missed my point, so she walked away. bitch, then on another assignment i passed on the draft copy, but she later failed me bacause my margin was 1mm out. BITCH, of course as it was a draft it didnt matter thank god. but seriously.. bitch?? she doesnt pick on anyone else this bad either.


hmmm maybe i did have something to say

lol

till next time xoxo

tayla has croup.

she woke up in the middle of the night the other night, she was having extreme problems with breathing and a horrible cough. tried to calm her down at home but she wasnt having it, so off to the hospital we went, a good dose of steroids and some pamol had her calming down enough to sleep and we brought her home at 1am. but this is now her 3rd day off from kindy and my 2nd from tech. scott stayed home with her yesterday so i could go to class. but she has to go back tomorrow because i have to give a sociology presentation.

oh yeah, my microbiology exam, the one i thought i couldnt have done any worse on if i tried, turns out i got 78% which although it is a low mark for me, i'll take it!! so i did pass after all, and scotts giving me grief because of all the whinging i did about it, he says hes not going to listen to me complain about my marks anymore.... fine.... just means you lot have to !
