Hey Jeremy how's college going for you so far? I got the pictures you sent me of the campus and it looks beautiful. A real old time feel, which is way different from anything down here in San Antonio. The weather up there looked real nice as well. Again, unlike San Antonio where it's hotter than the devil's kitchen, but it seems like its getting better, slowly. The only thing worse than the weather down here has got to be my accuplacer scores.
I wanted to take it again for the second time to see if I could score higher and get out of this remedial math class that I'm in, and still nothing. Right now I'm already taking it flex, which will make me only have the class for eight weeks instead of fifteen weeks. So i know what your thinking, it's not that bad, but what makes it difficult is that i know most of all the material that he's covering in class and it feels like a big waste of time for me to be in there when i could be getting another class done and over with. My student development class is teaching us about our strengths and weaknesses and i defiantly scored low when it came to study skills and test taking.
I'm trying my hardest not to get too bothered by all of this, but it's really a big deal for me to pass this accuplacer and start taking classes that are going to really count. You know how I am when I set a goal and focus on it. I want to reach it faster and do my best at it and i feel like this remedial class is holding me back,or at least slowing me down from becoming a nurse. The big thing that I'm going to do about the accuplacer is start taking practice test online. I did not know they had one of those and I know it will improve my test score a bunch. After all,it couldn't hurt it. I mean, if I showed you my scores, you would definitely agree with me.
I know that's its only the beginning of school and maybe I might be stressing this a little too much but it seems better to stress over it and get it done, than to not worry about it and forget to even take the test again. Hopefully I can send you another email in the near future talking about how i passed the accuplacer and am now that much closer to reaching the big picture which is being an RN. I hope everything is going good with you and the new school and I hope to hear from you soon.
