Stressed!?!?!?!

Four weeks of school done, three tests, and every minute accounted for, life has been crazy busy. The tests I have taken are rather annoying computer generated tests that try to trick you instead testing your knowledge. My frustration is at a toxic point because I don't test well doing these types of tests, yet if I want to pass I better get use to it. Really I do enjoy nursing school, I have learned a ton so far, and I like what I am learning, I just hate despise loathe abhor the tests and how busy life is since I am also working full time. It seemed to come to a breaking point this week, on Thursday afternoon I had two tests to take and I had studied a ton for both of them, took the test, felt confident in my answers, and I get my grade at the end of the test.... wasn't very good. This was so frustrating to feel like I did well and then see my score being poor was like hitting a brick wall running full speed. My wonderful wife has helped a ton calming me down and helping me realize that it is still the beginning of the semester, that I will accomplish my goals, and that she is there for me. I really don't deserve to have someone that amazing in my life, she is awesome. Besides that life is pretty good, it was Julies birthday this past week, so I made dinner of her choosing and tried to make it a special day for her. My failure was huge since we are so poor this time of year and she usually doesn't get much for her birthday. I hope to fix this issue soon, sorry Julie!
