Sometimes I surprise myself.

How is this possible? I'm getting "A's" in nursing school? It's surprising the hell out of me. Still sad at the same time, though. I'm seeing my classmates struggle while I am secretly beaming with joy over here. I know it's going to get more difficult, and that's ok. I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best.
I'm tired. All of this studying and stress has caught up to me, and I need to relax. Luckily I only have a paper to write this week, and we just have our final exams left to take in early December. The semester seems to be flying by! I have to say though, I don't completely hate the work. Mostly, the competition. My classmates are constantly freaking out about their grades and all of that stuff, while I just sort of sit back and take everything in. I mean, I get stressed and all....but I am not half as bad as the rest of these people. I feel like I should come to classes on test day with handouts of Xanax. Oh well, they'll be alright I suppose.
Onward and upward, almost another semester closer to walking across that stage.

Way to go with the straight A's! That's very impressive!!! I remember working my butt off every semester to fight with the "competition" for the best grads in the class. I wish I had remembered (before the last few weeks of my senior year) that as important as grades are in nursing school, and as important as it is to study hard, that having fun and ENJOYING the process is important too. You are doing amazing, keep up the good work!!!

Thanks alot! I am definitely enjoying this journey. I think the good grades are coming because I am interested in what I'm doing. I totally agree that good grades are important, but having fun is really important too. :)

Congratulations! I know this is an old post, but I know how hard A's are to come by in nursing school. I'm 3 months away from my LPN graduation, and after that I will be in an LPN-BSN program.
