I'm sorry about what happened That is very tough. That was 2 huge mountains to climb over but you did it. The only thing I can think of is you have this behind you, you're almost there, even if you do need another semester or two.

As for myself, I go from confident about getting in to seriously doubting myself. That's basically it right now. I don't have a competitive GPA and only time will tell and I can reevaluate after spring to see how I feel. (16 credit hours A&P, Stats, History 1& 2 and Nutrition)

This semester cannot be over fast enough. I'm really disappointed in myself. I tried to be strong and stick it out, but I am still grieving my twin brother's passing, and probably should have taken a break this semester. (He passed away at the beginning of the semester) I thought if I stayed busy, it would help, but no. I'm a mess.
My grades aren't what I wanted them to be. I will have enough points to get into my program in the Spring of next year, but possibly not the fall, but will apply anyway. Just very... ugh. Disappointed. Very disappointed.
Anyone else just flat out miserable right now? I'm not questioning whether this is what I want to do, just really deflated right now. Ugh.
Just needed to get it out. Sorry if this is a downer, but, gosh, the next week can't go by fast enough.

(((((((((((hugs))))))))))) You have had a rough go of it but you managed to keep your head above water. Good for you.Deep breath and the week will be over before you know it.Sometimes all you can do is keep slogging away at it.Hang in there and best of luck next semester.

I am so sorry for your loss, I can't imagine what you must be going through. You should be proud of yourself for getting through this semester with having this happen. I hope now that the semester is coming to an end you will have time to grieve your loss. If you have not done so, maybe speak to a therapist or join a support group for those who have lost loved ones. Big hugs to you!!!!!

Thanks. I had my final lab practical for A&P 2 yesterday... I feel good about it.

I'm just bummed that I let everything get to me and have a negative impact on my education. I guess the whole 'if at first you don't succeed, try, try again' thing comes into play here. Just frustrated, and I'm sure that finals week has a way of making pretty much everyone feel negative. About everything.

Aaaaaaah. off to study. Thank you for the hugs and the encouragement. I really appreciate it.
