My head really casplode this time!


Ok, so I went back to school this semester. I decided that I really needed to go back and finish that pesky Bachelors degree that I was never able to finish up before. Why.... it is not like I don't already have a job I love in my field. Well for Two reasons...

Reason 1 - I have this amazing husband who loves and supports me in every single thing I want to do. Seriously, for the men who may be reading this, you DO NOT want your wives to find out what my husband does for me and our family. It will bring shame upon you! You will look far beyond bad. Case in point. I am studying for school and blogging. John, well he has been doing the laundry, cleaning the kitchen, caring for the children and getting them ready for bed. And that is just today. I could go on, but I will save that blog for another day.

Reason 2 - My Father. He asks me on a regular basis when I am going back to school. It is really important to him that I graduate. He's my Dad....he has expectations.

So I decided to jump back in with both feet. It has only been 10 years since I graduated with my A.S. right?

I took BIOCHEMISTRY!!! What was I thinking!!! My first exam is on Wednesday and I have this terrible feeling I am going to be on the leeward side of the curve....ya know, the one that is more desert than lush forest.

I couldn't just start off easy. Take a regular biology class first, ease back into it. NO, I had to take the hardest class in my options to pick from. I have been studying all day. On top of that, I study almost every day. It isn't like I have been slacking. I have kept up on my reading, and I have attended all the lecture sessions and extra discussion session. (That is a first for me! Back in the day, I wouldn't have even crack the book until the day before the exam and I would usually sleep through the class. ) I have worked really hard to not only memorize what I need, but also really understand the concepts being taught. I even audio record the lectures so I can go back and listen to them again. I have listened to each lecture at least twice.

I still think I am going to fail. The Prof posted some old exams on line for us to look at and I couldn't answer half of the questions. I am in so much trouble.......

On a happier note, I passed the CQA exam I posted about last time.
