Sounds like your semester did suck, but at least it sounds like you're not beating yourself up over it and have a plan to get back on track in the fall. And gallbladder remover isn't a piece of cake, no matter how they try to tell you it is. Had mine out 10 years ago and even with the laproscopy's tiny incisions it still took me a full two weeks to get back to work (and that was a desk job). Good luck to you and I hope you're feeling better soon! :)
Keep trying! Never give up! :)
Sometimes we have to have a wake-up call, maybe this is yours.
Find out which way you learn better, and go from there. (For example, if visual, print pics out to study from, if reading/writing, then write stuff out & read it over and over again, and if audial, record lectures and/or your own voice reading your notes & listen it the recordings over and over again!!!)
Good luck!!!!! :balloons:

I'm really disappointed with myself but I'm considering it my practice run. I'll get a low A or B in my english, a low B or high C in my intermediate algebra (hate math) and if hell freezes over a LOOOOOW C in my A&P class, the one that is 1&2 combined into one class. It's not that I think A&P has difficult concepts, I just couldn't remember anything. I finally figured out it was because I've trained my brain to remember as little as possible because I do medical transcription. I was going to take summer classes, but instead I'm going to study my A&P all summer and get it down. I also had to do a lot of traveling to care for my grandpa, which was unexpected. Plus I was having lots of gallbladder problems, which I finally got taken out last Friday! :) That hurts WAY more than I thought it would by the way. I swear someone dropped me on the floor. And Steri-strips are NOT my friend.
I also found out I have to apply for an extension to get any future federal financial aid and I have to fill out the next 4 semesters of classes. Hopefully my advisor will okay my plan. I'll be able to get a nice chunk of the LPN/RN classes that aren't NUR out of the way.
Thanks for listening to the complaining. :)
