This week has been pretty stressful. I had an A&P exam on Monday and a Pharm Sci test on Tuesday. Therefore, I spent my weekend at North Metro working my 8 hour shift Saturday and Sunday attempting to study. Most of the time, I am able to concentrate. Not this weekend..I've gotten to that point where I need a little mind break. Just want to sit on the couch and do nothing. Well, there is no time for that right now. After taking A&P yesterday, I thought I had failed. Looked back over my notes and highlighted things I remembered from the exam..will probably see it again on the final. Pretty much everything I remembered I didn't get correct on the exam..kind of upset about that..so I found it pretty hard to focus last night to study for Pharm Sci test for Tuesday morning. I studied much of what I thought was going to be on the test.
Got the test this morning and skipped pretty much half the test! The first page had calculation problems that were so wordy, I got intimidated. Went through the test once and only answered about 20 of the 50. Then I realized I only had 20 minutes left! I immediately went back to the calculations and started punching on the calculator to try to at least get one of the answer choices. I was successful on most of them. With the time I had left, I chose my initial thought of what the answer might be.
In the end, I didn't pass the A&P exam. Only by a few points. Once I calculated my grades thus far, I'm still passing! Thank goodness! As for Pharm Sci, I passed..barely..again thank goodness!
I have learned not to take being in pharmacy school for granted. It is going to be a tough road and there will be bumps. I feel like I am on a roller coaster. One day I am at the top, thinking I am going to be a pharmacist! Other days I am at the bottom, thinking I am going to be a pharmacy school flunk out with a ton of debt.
Gotta keep truckin'! No turning back..just do the best I can.
Goal for this week: just pass!
