Test today!!

So it is 4:21am and I am already awake, showered and checking my email. What did I say in my post last week about mornings? Yeah. It was one of those nights last night (ha! it still is "night" in my opinion!) where I couldn't fall asleep because EVERYTHING was on my mind (particularly test stuff) and it was just too busy to fall asleep. And when I did wake up (20 minutes before my alarm, suprisingly) I felt as if it had been about half an hour and I'd been tossing and turning trying to fall asleep....not as if I had just woken up from five hours of sleep (which was the reality). I do not feel rested at all! I hope that I am able to concentrate and do well on this test today. It is imperative that I do well in order to reduce the stress of the next few weeks as much as possible! Trust me, they'll still be stressful, but it will be less-so if I do very well today. If you read this before 1pm AZ time please pray that I will have peace, a clear mind and be able to recall the information I need to!

After the test I am going to be practicing in the lab at school for IV skills check-offs tomorrow. We have to know 6 meds inside and out but are allowed to have "drug cards" to help us (2 are randomly chosen from those six tomorrow). We have to do an IV push, flush, piggy back prime and set up, and central dressing change. Not bad, but I need to practice because I've only watched them demonstrate up until this point. And I volunteered to check-off on Saturday as apposed to the 13th or 20th because I'm hoping I won't have to go in at all on those days if I just get it done with tomorrow...we'll see if I'm that lucky...:-D

Oh yeah, and my Pharm test is tomorrow, which I will be focusing on when I get home around 2-3pm today. I haven't even finished reading the chapters yet (I was reviewing for today's test!) and I need to do my outlines to help me remember the stuff....this is the teacher who LOVES multiple-multiple choice questions....which really kill me! *sigh*

You know that verse where it says God won't give us anything we cannot handle? I don't know where it is....and technically I'm putting myself through this because I signed up for it, but I know that He will be behind me and guiding me each step of the way, no matter how stressful it gets.

::EDIT::

I am now home and proud to report that I got at least an 85% on the psych test!! And so far most people are passing, so maybe the class grades will go up and not as many people will fail the class! I said I got "at least" an 85% because there were 9 questions that were fill-in-the-blank style, and our teacher said that if we didn't put in EXACTLY what he "coded" the answer to be then the computer would mark it wrong so he has to go back on each person's test and adjust their scores for those problems. I anticipate that I will get 2 additional points because of that (I already know I got one of them wrong, and the other 6 I'm pretty sure I typed in exactly how he would have had them and so they're probably already included in my 85%). If I get those two additional points that will put me at an 88% for the test, and I already had an 88% test average before taking this test so essentially my grade will not change at all. Which is exactly what I was aiming for!! I was SO worried about this test. Thank you Lord for helping me to focus!! Now on to studying for tomorrow's test...
