I have decided to go back to school, and now that it's only 1 week away I am so scared :uhoh21: . I guess i'm scared of failure, of not being good enough. I first have to finish some pre-reqs and then can apply to nursing school. i'm trying to stay positive and thinks about how great it will feel once i am done, but i can't hide the fact that i am freaking out!
I must say it has been great to find this forum, it helps a lot to vent and to have the support of total strangers that want nothing more that for you to succeed.
I am still scared hehehee... I started in 04 and I am more scared this semester then any other because it is my last semester of pre reqs I have done fantastic up till now and I don't want to blow it on the homestretch so its making me very very nervous, compound that with I am trying to take ap2 and micro together and I keep thinking will I have enough time in the day to do it "all".
You will do GREAT!!!!!! Good luck. I am glad to see you here again more frequently. I missed your energetic posts
first of all...you are so lucky to have found this site in the beginning of your college career! it is the best support out there and i just found it about 2 months ago; i sure could have used it the last couple of years.
i started back to school in '04...my first day i sat in the parking lot frozen like an idiot! i actually called a friend and told her that i couldn't do it. i was 37 and was so scared that i would stick out like a sore thumb. i thought that my backpack made me look like a geek and that i would be ridiculed...flashbacks of highschool i guess:lol2: . i sat there for a few minutes, took deep cleansing breaths, and checked out everyone elses backpacks, he he he.
fast forward to today...i start ns next week! i'm not as nervous as i was that first day, but i do still get a few butterflies the night before. but school is awesome! i have been one of the oldest in all of my classes, but believe it or not i have yet to be the oldest. most of my study partners could be my kids, and they love having a mom figure in their group; ultimately everyone is very supportive and accepting. and i am a better student now in my old age.
well that's my story!
good luck to all you "newbies" out there!
