Drop Out

I feel like such a loser. I just couldn't do it right now. I gave 100% effort that first week, but it nearly took me out. Chemistry and Biology got the best of me. It's official... I dropped out. I don't want to have my nose stuck in textbooks for the next eight weeks. Then again, it's only eight weeks and I'd be done with those two classes standing between me and my nursing school application. The timing is just not right. It doesn't feel right. I'm going with my gut on this one.

I've dropped out.

I'm not sad about it. There's always spring semester.

Love your new header! I hardly ever see it because I see your blog via reader more often than your actual blog.

It's good to go with your gut. Now may not be the right time ... especially with a big decision looming about how you're going to move forward with Owen's surgeries.

What you could do is devote some time each day to reading from the chemistry and biology books. That way, when the classes come up again this spring, the assignments might not feel so overwhelming.

I want you to know that I felt a sense of relief seeing that you are a drop out. If I'm relieved, you must be really, really relieved! Focus on the holidays and your sweet kiddos. You've got a lot on your plate. Bio and Chem can wait. Hope to see you this Saturday at the Festival.

You are not a drop out! Look at what all you have accomplished with Owen! You'll get there one day. Head up! You'll see nursing school one day :)

Good for you! You should NOT feel like a loser at all! You have a lot going on right now and those are two of the hardest classes!! I barely passed Chemistry before I was married with kids! The best thing about school is you can always go back. :)

Good for you, Andrea!! I was so stressed for you knowing how much work it is to take care of a heart baby. Nursing school will be there when Owen is in school himself.

By the way, I love your new fall look!!

I was wondering if all the stress had pushed you over the edge. I am thankful that you have found your priorities again. Backing you 100 percent on this one.
Owen thanks you too! ;)
You can pick it up again when you have lots of spare time.
Praying for Little O always.

You are so not a loser. I had to do the same thing this past January. I signed up for classes that began a few days after Natalie's Fontan. big mistake. And I don't regret dropping out.
You, my dear, are no loser. It'll happen when it's meant to happen. I keep telling myself that, too. lol
