I have my chemistry final tomorrow. This was an online class where I pretty much taught myself chemistry. I have been going through the old tests and I dont remember HALF of it it seems. I am totally freaking out, which makes it harder for me to study because I just keep hearing neg self talk.

I so need to get an A in this class and right now I am at a low A high B. The nursing program I want to get into awards 40 points for a 4.00 cummulitve GPA and only 34 if it is a 3.75. So even if this is the only class I get a B in, it cuts me 6 points and admission to the nursing program is all on points. (There are other things like an essay you write on why you want to be admitted and anatomy and physiology are worth a ton of points) If I dont have as many as somebody else I might have to wait a whole additional year while retaking anything I got a lower grade in and then reapply.

So I need to do good on this final and I am totally stressing, I have had a fight w/ dh were I walked out, the house looks like a bomb hit it, and the kids are either trying to pick fights with each other so I will scream at them, or they are tip toeing around like little mice (I prefer the latter). I have no idea what I am going to feed the hordes for dinner, so instead of doing anything of the billions of things I need to do or study, I am here tapping away.

Send me good luck and prayers, wow am I gonna need it.

Good Luck sweetie.
I am sure that you will do fine.
Just keep telling yourself..."I can do this, I can do this."

Always seems like "it" hits the fan at exactly the wrong moment. For me, it used to be when I had a newspaper deadline and was staring at a blank computer screen... the kids would fight, the cat would throw up... all the crises came all at once. Get thee off of Momsview, put some headphones on with relaxing music, and STUDY!!!
Don't listen to the negative voices. I'm impressed that you've had the initiative to teach yourself with an online course. I could never be that motivated! So pat yourself on the back for doing that, and then charge ahead. You can do this!

I took my final, thank you all for your support. I am SOOO glad I didnt have to take it yesterday, I was a total basket case, this morning I just got up with a can-do attitude and I think I did really well. The proof will be when I get my grade but I know I did my best.
