My teacher posted the grades for the final!! I had 94. I was very happy and relieved to see that. I was also a bit disappointed because I usually do better than that. What can I expect when I blow off studying for an entire weekend.
My overall grade was 4.0!! I also got a 4.0 for the music class I had to take so it was another 4.0 semester!!
Now I can forget about school and classes for a while. I need this break!

Grades Posted
FINALLY...my last grade is posted!! ALL 4.0!!! I was pretty sure this last class was going to be 4.0 but I just wanted to see that 4.0 there staring at me!!!
I am glad that this semester is over. It's the most difficult semester of the program I'm in. It really feels good to have all of my hard work and endless days spent in the library studying pay off. 4 classes - 4 4.0s!!! True nerd style!!!!!!!

Done Done Done Done Done Done Done Done!!!!!!!
This semester is HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!! Took my last final exam today!
Grades were posted for the classes I finished on Monday. Nothing but FOUR POINT!!!!
I totally rocked one final - 100%!! I can hardly believe it!! I got 94 on the other final; that class was the one I had the hardest time with, so glad to have that 4.0 recorded in the grade book!! I felt pretty good today after finishing the exam so I'm sure I will also get a 4.0 in that class. I had 98 going into the final.
I am so glad this semester is over; it has been a long semester. The teachers of the program said it is the most difficult semester and it sure has been. It also marks the end of the first year in the program, one year from now I will be graduated!! The 2nd year class graduated Monday. One more year to go!
I was going to go for a run after leaving school but I discovered I had forgotten to pack my running shoes. I had all my clothes but forgot to throw the shoes in. I guess I'll go for a run tomorrow. It will be wonderful to be able to go out and run without guilt hanging over my head.
Well, I watched my favorite (and the only one I watch) TV show, Ghosthunters, and now I am going to watch a Netflix movie because I don't have any homework to do!!! I can do anything I want to!!!!!! My brain needs a break!

Running without guilt!!! AND Nerd status retained!!!!!!
9 am: a very difficult final exam for which I studied for all last week and weekend.
Then: work 4 hours
Then: check to see if exam grade posted just before leaving work.
Then: see excellent grade on final exam and see 4.0 for overall class grade!
Then: go to park where my favorite running route starts.
Then: change clothes in back seat of car (thanks to the miracle of tinted windows!).
Then: take off on a fun, guilt free 4.5 mile run along the Huron River on a beautiful, sunny and nearly 70 degree afternoon!! Oh, it felt sooooooo great!! The weather and no weight of the world on my shoulders!!! (or at least the weight of my future career!) I saw BABY duckies for the first time this year during my run!! It must be spring for sure!! The rowing crews were out on Argo Pond and there was even some muddy spots on the Argo Bluff trail though the woods!!!
I have 5 whole days off before the next semester begins!!! I rented a DVD on the way home after running!! I haven't done that in a very long time.
I have nothing to do!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, what a feeling!!!! Well, I guess that isn't entirely true. My house is a mess and my car looks like I live in it so I guess I could find something to do but maybe tomorrow!! I should probably mail my son's graduation announcements too, after all, graduation is May 7th!
The class that ended today was tough. I went into this final one point below a 4.0. I HAD to ace this final to bring my percentage up to a 4.0. I barely got the 4.0. I went into my other final well into 4.0 range and would have had to really mess up to bring my grade down below a 4.0. (I prefer it that way!) Next semester I'll have 2 classes again and I start hospital clinicals 2 full days per week. I will be in classes 2 full days and clinical 2 full days. Today was also the last day that I will be working. It's bittersweet; I will miss some things about my job but it is too difficult to try to work and go to school full time. I am still an employee and will be working during August when I have the month off between summer and fall semesters. I was really glad that they wanted to keep me on as an inactive employee.
Well, I'm going to go watch that DVD now!!!!!!!!! Don't look for me very early tomorrow morning either!!!

Bad test grade, Slow running, Sick from Tetanus shot, Life has to get better
I survived the spring break where there was neither spring nor a break.
Test #1, first day back, 96%. That means I missed 2. I haven't seen the test yet to know what stupid mistakes I made.
Test #2, second day back, 86%. A new LOW for me. I have never ever in my entire life had a grade that low. Our teacher sent a message on the online classroom thingy saying that the class average for this exam was 80% and said that some may need some extra help and tutoring to bring their grades up to passing. Since I was 6 points above the class average and my overall grade in the class is at 90% right now and the limit for passing to failing is 73 or 74 (can't remember; didn't think I'd ever need to think about it) I highly doubt I'd be a candidate for any extra help; I'd get laughed at for asking. What is wrong with wanting to get high grades?? I'm constantly told that when I graduate and get my license that nobody is ever going to ask what my grades were or if I was at the top of my class. What's wrong with wanting to be anyway, even if nobody ever asks?? I've heard several classmates say that they've had 4.0s in the pre-reqs and had the goal of keeping that up but have now lowered their expectations. I just can't see doing that.
Ok, enough of that!
Test # 3, third day back 100% although this test was nothing difficult.
One of the requirements for health care programs and jobs is having all childhood immunizations. In the past what I had always done was use my school records from way back when. Well, now that's not good enough for us old fogies. Back in the day our Mommys filled in a form with the dates of our immunizations when we enrolled in kindergartin, now they call that "self reporting" and it's not acceptable now. Sooooo, I had to have titers which are blood tests for the immunizations. If your titers come back not showing any of the immunizations it doesn't mean you never had them or you don't have the immunity but you have to get the immunization. Mine all came back positive!!!!!!!!! I was due (overdue actually) for a tetanus booster so I got that Thursday. I remember the last time I had one that I had a very sore arm for a few days but this time it made me really sick. I met up with a classmate at the public library on Friday afternoon to study. We were there over 4 hours. I was really uncomfortable most of the time; I had a headache and my lower back was hurting then my legs started hurting. I thought it was because the chair was uncomfortable. When I left the library it was sunny and 45 so naturally I decided to go running!! Bad idea. I did not get very far and knew something was up. I could barely move and my entire body hurt. I ran 3 very slow miles. (31 minutes) and when I got back to my niece's house (I was house-sitting) I could barely get up the 3 steps to unlock the door. Everything hurt and I was miserable. I showered and curled up in the bed with a heated blanket and slept for about 2.5 hours then woke up extremely hungry but just didn't feel like I could get up and get dressed. I did manage to get jammies on and went downstairs. I was so hungry but at the same time couldn't even look at food. I drove to McDonalds (yes, in jammies) and got a cheeseburger. I don't know why but sometimes when I am sick that is the only thing I can eat. It's not even something I eat normally. I haven't been to a McDonalds in a long time. After I ate the cheeseburger (no top bun) I had an apple, a really yummy Kiku apple then my tummy was happy but the rest of me was still miserable. I took ibuprophen and went back to bed and slept nearly 11 hours. I felt much better Saturday morning and even went running. I ran 6 very slow miles. I didn't have the body aches but I still couldn't move very fast. I intended to run 8 but changed that plan not very far into the run. As Saturday went on I got achy all over again but not to the extent as Friday. I've never had a tetanus shot do this to me. I'm still not 100% but am much much better today.
So, anyway, there is the most boring blog entry ever written!!!!!!!
Last Saturday (March 5) was 12 weeks out from the half marathon I am signed up for and I was supposed to start training. OOPS, I kinda forgot!! The weather was awful and I had the 3 tests hanging over my head and I had to work way too much and never felt like I got to study sufficiently. I house-sat that weekend too and took running gear but the weather turned to horrible cold and inches of snow and I didn't have the right gear with me. Soooo, I guess my half marathon training has officially begun with 11 weeks to go. It will be interesting to see how well I keep up with it until the weather warms and daylight lasts longer and until I am completely done working. (yup, I am in the process of quitting my job!)
Well, a little more studying for, yes, another test tomorrow then off to bed.
