Failed Microbiolody Lab Practical and want to cry.

I am taking microbiology lab and I just bombed my lab practical. I got the color of identifying the gram stain wrong and flunked. I thought it was purple when it was a hard pink. Anyway, I'm so upset because I got a 70 on the first quiz and now I'm worried I'm going to fail. My gpa is a 3.6, so this would affect it and I work hard to get that. I know it's 5%, but the point is that I'm worried I cannot bring this grade up. I'm more embarrassed than anything because it was an easy gram staining test. I just, I don't know, overthought the answer. I'm trying to get into the lpn-rn bridge and have been on a waiting list for 1 year while I get my prereqs done and it all rides on bio lab/lecture and my teas test which I need to take in November. I feel as though I pushed everything to the last minute because I'm scared you-know-what because I'm afraid of not passing this teas and throwing all this I worked for away. Not only that, but I'm changing careers and feel like the most stressed out older mom in class which makes it worse when I do fail. I should know better to be more prepared. Ugh!

Anyone else get in this predicament. On the verge of failing and being a complete procrastinator? Do I have any chance of getting my grade up past a C? I'm so scared.
