I think my favorite star from the 90's got into singing. At least that's what I heard.

well, i failed that test. i cannot believe how much i studied and that i did so badly. there goes nursing. i knew i wasnt smart enough for all of this.

Des - I'm so sorry about your test. Nursing is hard and it ain't no joke but you know what? We're all going to have those days where something doesn't go the way we want it too, and when we fail tests but it's about getting back up once we get knocked down. We have to figure out why this test didn't go as well as the others and then change it!

This is just a couple steps back, you'll ace the next one!

Des, stop it - it's not all or nothing. It's one test...And I bet you know all the information..We can't do great on each test.. Look at all the obstacles you have had this week - A whole family of sick people to handle including yourself.. I'll let you have today to feel bad, but tomorrow, turn it around and move forward....

YOU CAN DO IT I have faith in you.

# des, now look here young lady, pessimism is not permitted unless it's me being pessimistic. My sis had her struggles with nursing school, nearly threw in the towel. I was very proud when she graduated but even more proud she did not give up. Besides, remember, no pain no gain, chin up and get some As's.

Found out today that Tiffany is pregnant with twins. This doesn't help me being nervous.

Not only did I find out today that she has twins in her belly, but she knows I am the one she wants to spend her life with, and she even asked me to marry her. Honestly I need time, and she respects that.

Just feeling really down today... :( everything about today sucked unfortunately, but I'm ready to tackle tomorrow full force. My little rant on something random to say. lol Hope everyone is doing well & better than I am... I'm always up for a chat :) See ya!

Recon..how long have you known her?

I've known her a little over a year. We've been good friends for a long time, and I'm happy to move to the next step with her. But twins is a little too much for a next step at this point in my life. UGH! IDK what to do.

Wow Recon that is major! It shows a lot of maturity and intelligence though, the fact that you aren't completely comfortable with all of this yet and ready to jump in head first. This topic would make an interesting thread imo.

recon-------- yeah, i would definitely slow down with her. it sounds like she is scared and panicking and is just wanting to grab on to someone for support. like she is drowning and just reaching for something to keep her afloat. you just got out of a long-term relationship and had some major life changes. concentrate on YOU for awhile. you deserve it.

as far as my test, you guys dont seem to understand. i am not IN nursing school yet. i am just doing my pre-reqs. i have to have at least a 2.8 GPA to even be eligible to APPLY into the nursing program and it is very selective. they only take about 20-30 people and about 200 apply.

You'll get there Des, don't fret! You're entitled to an off day. Just rebound that much better on the next one!! :)

Recon, have you met Tiffany in person yet? Or have you just known her online? If you haven't met her, you have to make a point to do that before she can even talk marriage.. Where is the babies daddy?

I may be overstepping my bounds, but something is not seeming right with this relationship.. I don't want you jumping into it, with her using babies as the bait over your head..Step back a little, get to know her as a person without talk about any babies...

Hey wait, is she the one who you were shortly seeing when you and Nate had a small breakup quite a few months ago?
-------------------------------
And des, I know you are not in nursing school yet, but I also know you are capable of doing this and getting through these classes with good grades. Have you reviewed the test to see where you went wrong? Have you discussed it with the instructor? Please don't let the one grade hurt you inside.. Keep going strong!
