#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Best way to do things - pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get on again. Sounds like this new guy is a real darling. Nothing better than a horse-supportive guy.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You sound so much happier, less stressed with a better outlook.

well the guy situation is going nice.... school is killing me... just
figured it out.. i have a final on wensday that in order to pass the
class i have to get 82% on it! 75% is the min passing grade for the
class, and in all areas i'm over that except that i got 68% on the
midterm.. the midterm and final combined must average 75% they say or
you don't pass.... i don't pass i'm failed the class and out of the
program... wanna lose weight stress out about this sort of crap#ed_op#img src="/richedit/smileys/dead.gif"#ed_cl##ed_op#br#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I actually like exams and do well on them. I was playing around with the LSATS on Saturday and think I could probably pass them with a little preparation.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Anyway, Kobau, hope you nailed it!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Here's hoping you do well too!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I agree with you, exams should be outlawed- I never do particularly well on any of mine. They're just a pain in the butt if you think about how much effort you put into your work and tests all throughout the course to get a medicore mark on one test that is worth so much (in my case 30%) so it can drop your mark 5%! Grr! lol...rant over. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

well, I didn't pass the class #ed_op#img style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="InsertImage('/richedit/smileys/cry.gif');" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#C6D3EF';this.style.border='1px solid #3169C6'; " onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=''; this.style.border=''" src="richedit/smileys/cry.gif" align="middle"#ed_cl##ed_op#img style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="InsertImage('/richedit/smileys/depressed.gif');" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#C6D3EF';this.style.border='1px solid #3169C6'; " onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor=''; this.style.border=''" src="richedit/smileys/depressed.gif" align="middle"#ed_cl#
i messed  up and only managed toget 74.2%  on the exam, which
means that i finish with an average 72.5  in  that section of
the class. So i am finishing my other two classes,but i am  no
longer in the nursing program at the college. I wil be finding out if
by chance,all my courses transfer home!  Ithurts to know that i
only needed another three classes after this term and to be so close to
finishing and not be able to..... but everything happens for a reason.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

thanks for the support everyone.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Kobau, sorry to hear about your exam, hopefully most of your courses can be transfered to or will be recognized in Manitoba and that you will not have too many additional classes to qualify for your nursing degree in Canada.  Good luck and keep us posted.  By the way is it impossible to take that particular course over or is this a one time deal that restricts you from ever trying again?#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#well i'm getting info from the University of Brandon, and another college about their nursing programs. My LPN stuff should cover certain courses, but it looks so far as though my RN classes may not transfer at all#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley18.gif"#ed_cl#. That is ok as long as all my general classes transfer. I only say that because if i had reapplied to the college i was in, i would have had to take all the nursing classes again anyways....#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#But on another front, I've got a date with the new guy, the 3rd, so in under a week#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley20.gif"#ed_cl# and today i have a lady driving to see Bull... from 4 hrs away#ed_op#IMG src="http://forums.equestrianconnection.com/richedit/smileys//smiley3.gif"#ed_cl# so fingers crossed that he is what she is looking for!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well i figure she is driving 4 hrs here, just to see him so that is pretty damn good, very unusual around here! But i'm jsut happy to have a seriously interested buyer. She can't show up with trailer cause she is from the US, so to take him home she'd have to have his coggins done etc.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#And yup the cnd guy is looking promising... says with my test done i likely need some TLC so he is taking me out for a good dinner.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
