Hillsborough Community College - Spring 2014

Ummmmm... Yes definitely. I have not been a happy camper. I need some good news right about NOW ;-)

Me too! I've been so grumpy and snappy. Let's hope for it tomorrow. ANY news would be good right now. Although good news would be best. im glad im not alone in this! I hope your stress goes away soon though. :)

Is anyone else driving their family crazy from stress? I feel so crazy lately. I want to not feel so alone in my psychoness. Haha

You're not alone. Not by a long shot..

Ummmmm... Yes definitely. I have not been a happy camper. I need some good news right about NOW ;-)

I've been a little cranky and crazy as well. My wife is probably keeping it together for the both of us right now. My biggest issue is having to wait another full year to re-apply if I don't get in, coupled with the fact that I got a letter from Univ. of Tampa today saying that the response letters would be out next month for their program. I think I just want closure either way so I know how to prepare and plan for what comes next!

Not to mention the fact that I have a vacation planned for after this semester ends in December (France, Italy, Spain, and N. Africa - Mediterranean cruise) that is paid for and waiting as a celebration for myself for making it into ANY nursing program. If none of that happens, it's going to be a personal bummer for me to go on that vacation knowing I'm not really celebrating anything... I've been anticipating, planning, and financing it for three years!

I whipped myself personally and emotionally to make this happen; and my wife and daughter have sacrificed so much -- both financially and me not being at important functions -- for it not to happen this go around.

Ugh. Vent off.

God is good and will take care of all of this. Just know that all of you are not alone with your anticipation, disappointment, and anxiety. I'm right there with you and stalk the mailbox just like you do each day. This has probably been one of the most stress ridden periods of my 37 years of life other than when my daughter was born. At that time, I almost lost my baby girl and my wife due to complications with her birth.

It has not been easy. But it will happen in His time period and on His plan. I just need to wait for His response..

Hello All,

I know exactly what you guys are going through, I am currently a student at HCC and I am on my first semester (i am part of the fall 2013 class).

HCC also took their sweet little time to send us the acceptance letters, it drove me bunkers!!! Anyways, the letter came on a Saturday (hopefully it will be tomorrow for you guys).

Good luck to you all and hang on tight cause it will be a crazy ride lol!!!

God I hope so. You and FX have been so awesome to bounce ideas off of and to just commiserate through all of this. I can't even imagine how $#@! I would have been if I would have taken Organic Chem at USF this semester as I had planned too (see my prior postings on this thread) instead of Mr. "Yes or Nooooo". To boot, I got two people that are going through the same cruddo! Holy crap Batman would I have been lost... I can't even comprehend some of the concepts we're going through in CHM-1032. I was kind of arrogant for thinking I could have survived! Not to mention everyone else in this thread that have contributed their stories!

My prior life in Software Dev. was never so intense!

Thanks for being there...

Yay for Saturday. How do you like the program so far? I can imagine it’s a total roller-coaster; knowing that, I still wanna be the first in line with my barf bag!

Hi jragghianti,

You’re not alone, my family thinks I’m going nuts looking out the window all day waiting for the mail lady to show up; even my dog looks at me weird.... The stress is starting to get to me and I don’t like it, I’m usually pretty calm & collected but this letter is starting to unravel me.

I think this whole letter bit has unraveled even the best of us. I’ll stick by my West Coast values and play the passive liberal card: “What is determined to happen shall happen.”

I will say however that your advice FX, was (and has been) the hardest hitting on my outlook on all of this...Focus on our studies for this semester until the letter comes.

The problem is... Its just damn hard!

P.S. Night all. I'm going to go read a story to my daughter and forget about letters until 2:00pm tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Hey you guys, you have nothing on me.... Ive been dealing with this since last semester ... I know what everyone is going through, hopefully no one has the troubles that I had to go through....my family is ready to kill me.
