Guys school is HARD

I am telling you it is just so overwhelmingly hard that I feel on the brink of tears all the time.

I am still not sure if it is actually hard, or if it is just so much stuff all at the same time that I am just trying to keep up but don't know how to.

I have all of this stuff that I need to do when I get home from school,

but all I want to do is nothing.

I just want a break, but I don't have time for a break.

Like this week for example, I had a quiz in my preventive dentistry class today, a probe test in clinic today(because I failed the first one last week), a midterm for clinic lecture Wednesday, a journal due for clinic lecture due Wednesday, the curved explorer test for clinic on Wednesday, a midterm for tooth morphology on Thursday, a tooth ID quiz for tooth morphology on Thursday, a quiz for Medical Emergencies due by Thursday. OMG. 

Why am I on here when I have all this junk to do?!?

Oh that's right, because if I don't take 5 minutes for myself, I will literally have a mental breakdown.

Last Monday I failed my probe test in clinic. They (as in my instructors) like to say you didn't fail you just weren't "successful" on the first attempt. 

I just know I failed it. And only because I didn't put my pen on a laminated card, when I was charting probe depths. 

Then when I got home I just bawled my eyes out. Because I felt like a serious failure.

And then last Tuesday I got my oral histology test back and I legit failed it. 

And that made me want to cry all day on Tuesday and Wednesday. 

And then I really missed my family and that made me cry even more.

Let's just say it will probably be a miracle if I make it these next two years without some kind of medication.

Sorry for the serious rant. 

But now I might be able to get some stuff done.

Maybe.

Until next time!

One Month

Folks, spring break is over.

This means I have officially been crying buckets.

Not really, but I wanted to.

I hate school.

As I have mentioned before.

So join me as I finish up this last month of school before summer.

Just one month. 

To the day. 

Literally.

I can do this.

It may or may not be the worst month of my life with all of the tests and other work I have to do.

BUT.

I can do this.

I am sure of it.

I keep telling myself that I only need to get C's in my classes.

Which probably isn't a good idea.

But hey, C's get degrees.

Oh P.S. did I tell you that Sam got accepted to the Pharmacy program at ISU.

It all worked out how we wanted.

Unless something goes terribly wrong I have two years of school left.

EVER.

And Chuck has four years.

Yikes he is a freshmen essentially.

Until next time!

Studying

Studying: There is almost nothing more that I hate in the whole world.

It takes up all of my free time and pretty much always makes me want to cry.

I also hate writing papers. 

And I have two do this week. 

Along with two tests.

And my dental hygiene interview all day Saturday.

And a test the next Monday.

Will it ever end?

I think not.

At least not for two years.

Will someone please find me a time machine or a way to make some money without an education.

If you have any tips I would LOVE to know!

(one tip would probably to study and just get it over with instead of blogging)

Until next time!

To Transfer....

Or to not transfer is the question that Sam and I have been plagued with this semester. Sam made the decision this semester that this would be the last semester of studying mechanical engineering. Instead he has made the decision to study pharmacy. I am pretty excited about this because that means we could live pretty much wherever we wanted after he graduated from school. But it also means that he has a lot longer in school left than we originally thought. Right after high school he left for his mission, so he is only in his third semester. He was just about to apply to the ME program after the semester, but not anymore. He hasn't really taken any classes that help him get into pharmacy school. So we are looking at about three more semester of prerequisites, and then once he is accepted, pharmacy school is four years. They certainly make you do a lot of work for that Doctorate of Pharmacy degree. So since Sam has changed his major, we had to start thinking about where he would want to go to school. his first choice is Idaho State University. That works out well for me because they also have a dental hygiene program. We applied for the Fall semester of 2011 and still need to send transcripts and such. We are pretty sure that we will get in to the school but we each have a few more classes to take before we can apply to our perspective programs. Why transfer in the fall you ask? Well because if Sam gets most of his prerequisites from there it looks better, and they give priority to Idaho residents. Also I should be able to apply to the Dental Hygiene program in December 2011 for the Fall 2012 semester. So I would need to be there already and all that jazz. Ah the joys of being a college student. I can hardly wait to be done with it all. However it is looking like I have three years left at least. Flip, flip, flip that is forever. But I will have a Bachelors Degree in Dental Hygiene from ISU, most other schools only give you an Associates Degree. So there is a plus side of it all.

Until next time!
