You gotta be wise

Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds, try and keep your head up to the sky. Lovers, they may cause you tears, go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted, don't be ashamed to cry. You gotta be, You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard, You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, You gotta stay together

Ronald Reagan

"Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."
~ Ronald Reagan – Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation ~

Did I mention?

Did I mention that this math test that we have to get a hundred on --that we have three chances to pass-- can be the end of 280 for me?

That's right. I failed it the first time. I didn't think I did. But, I had the wrong student ID number (congrats to whoever has 4006. YOU got a 100). I got a 90. Because I rounded to the tenth and not the whole number, altho it specifically said it RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME on the problem I was working on. I failed the SECOND test today, because I can't add. I did ALL of the 'hard' medication math just fine. I got them all right. I even paid EXTRA special attention to rounding and labeling. However, on adding the input, I correctly converted everything to ml's, and had all the right numbers....but not the right answer! I EVEN USED A CALCULATOR!!! However, I did not double check that one the way I double and triple checked everything else. THAT WAS THE EASY ONE. IT WAS THIRD GRADE MATH! So, yes. My future now rides on a 'simple' ten question math test that myself, along with a handful of others, can not simply seem to pass. If I do not pass this, I will have to drop out of the program, and reapply for my last semester, and hope to get in sometime for the next semester. If I can't--then I have to wait a whole year. OMGosh. I am seriously freaking out. AND it's not until NEXT WEDNESDAY. Really? Make us wait that long? TWO WEEKS in between tests?! Really. Gee. You wonder why the Mental Breakdown stats are going up. There is your answer. Waiting. We hate to wait.
