Dang, missed it by one!
I am totally stressing out over school right now. I am in the Chamberlain RN to BSN program, which requires I take statistics. In order to take statistics I have to take algebra ,again, for the 3rd time because the other classes were too long ago. You would think I could remember it and just breeze right through it....nope! I had to take math 92 (pre algebra) That finally clicked and I passed with an A. I thought I was on a role and could roll right through math 114 (algebra). I did pretty well on my first test, passed the quiz the first try and got 100% on the first test. It may have left me a little over confident....I failed the 2nd quiz earlier this week and I took it again today and I failed by 1 question, ONE QUESTION!!!! It took me 2 hours to take the quiz, if only I had taken a break and come back and checked one more time....I knew I had some wrong that I just couldn't figure out, but I was fairly confident I had enough to pass so I took a gamble and hit the submit button.....dang missed by one. Just goes to show you gambling isn't good in any venue. My impatience cost me 2 hours of my life....and I still haven't passed the quiz. I was really frustrated and overwhelmed because I had an economics paper that I hadn't even started. I laid down to rest for a few minutes and I looked up and saw the medal I received for running the Rock n Roll half marathon and thought, if you...the person that couldn't even run to the end of the block 18 months ago can run a half marathon, you can pass this stupid class! I got up and started working on my economics assignment, took a short break to read scriptures with Bob and came back to the computer and knocked out the paper. Yea! Tomorrow I am going to pass that stupid algebra quiz!
