Thank you Blondie. I know he will send me on the right path. I just felt awful yesterday but feel better today. I went today and withdrew from everything and got money for my books and turned in my film badge, that is what they monitor your radiation on. I took it in and my professor was sitting there and I just laid it on her desk. She was like thank you, I didn't say anything I just walked away. Oh well it is done and over with and I am moving on.
It was so nice here earlier in the day and then the skies opened up and rained. It really cooled down too. I guess Mercer and Venango counties have a frost warning. I don't know how but it is crazy. THose 2 counties are up by Erie, so they are far North of me.
well Blondie, I flunked out of Rad Tech school. I found out this morning. The thing is I needed a 75% in the class to pass and I got a 74%. I asked her if she would be willing to give me that 1% and she said no my quizes and final grades weren't good enough and that she didn't feel in good mind it would be right to give that extra 1%. I was so mad, well pissed was more like it. I am not going back either. Going to go back to pharmacy technician job, when I find one and do that. I know I am good at that and know what I am doing with it also. Not that I wasn't good at Radiology, I did great at my clinicals but the book work and class work was awful. I cried ALL day. I am so tired now that i can't sleep. If that makes sense. Well wanted to let ya know that.
sorry dont' see any pictures. Is there a website I can go to.
Oh I know what else I was going to say, I did email my professor but haven't heard anything back from her yet. I hope she emails me back soon. I am so anxious to see if I passed or not.
How was your mothers day? Mine was good. Dave and Mia got me a charm bracelet, took me to Red Lobster for dinner, my choice of course, it tasted so yummy. Mia made me things, love the homemade things. My stepdaughter gave a beautiful hanging basket, which shocked me because she usually doesn't even tell me happy mothers day or anything. I guess she is growing up alittle. Got calls from my boys the day before because of course they both had to work on Sunday.
How exciting for you. SOOOOOOO happy to hear about all of that. Yes keep me posted.
I had all my finals last week so was busy with studying all that crap too. I got an 83 on my lab final and failed the other one. But it is okay, I think I still passed the class, I hope anyways. Haven't heard anything yet. Even failing the lecture final I ended up with a 74.5 and I need a 75. So I can't see why she wouldn't pass me with a 75. That is if I figured it out right. Let's pray and hope I did.
Well I hope you all had a great Mother's Day.
I had to have my computer fixed. I had a ton of infections on it. So now I am in bussiness again YA!!
Hey just wanted to stop by and say hello. Been busy with finals and trying keep up on house work and many other things. I hope all is good with everyone.
Will return after friday. That is my last final. I got an 83 % on my lab final on Monday. I could have done better I totally forgot how to do one position all together. I don't know if my professor didn't notice or what but she never said anything. Oh well I got a good grade on it so I was happy. I have to do good on my lecture final on Friday to pass. Will keep ya informed.
Well glad to hear from you Nita. I am sorry your son says those things to you. You are his mother and he shouldn't act that way towards you. Maybe something else is going on and he is upset about someting and doesn't want to bother you with it. I know me, I would tell my boys if they hurt my feelings or not. I may let it bother me for awhile but then I would have to say something to them. Good luck with him and I hope he comes to see you soon too. The camping sounds like fun. I know we can't wait to get our camper out and go Memorial Day weekend. My bestfriend and I are going to our old campground and just we are staying for that weekend. I can't wait to go. It will be so much fun. It will be nice to be able to ralax for a weekend and have no studying to do. I am hoping I get thru this semester. As you already know. I was thinking of you too just the other day and thought I have heard from you in a while. Sorry I haven't called or anything just get so busy at times but it is no excuse not to call a friend every once in awhile.
Hi everyone.. I am back.. sorry I have been gone for so long. Went camping last weekend.. rainy cold but that's okay. Got away from here.. hubby so stressed lately needed to chill out. The temperature gives that statement a whole new slant on things. However.. my bones didn't like the temperature and the rain.. but I loved that there was no computer in the woods.. Cooking over an open fire was a blast. As soon as I figure out how to get my pictures off my smartphone I will share my videos of our campfire.. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. Been crocheting alot lately only cause its easy to take with me where ever I go. HAve made over 40 dish cloths so far. not counting those I made for christmas presents. Well I am tired so I am going to bed.. Just wanted to let you know I am still alive and kicking,.. didn't want you to think I dropped off the face of the earth..Although there have been times when I wanted to find a huge rock and hide under it. MArcy.. school work will work itself out. Blondie, Tyler is still at home and things are getting better.. I'd like it if he went to school more, but he will have to deal with the consequences if he doesn't improve the attendance and get his grades back up there. And he has started to smoke cigarettes. I guess he figures if he is going to breahe second hand smoke from his father's cigarettes, why not just make it first hand smoke. It breaks my heart to see him do this.. and he knows how I feel. not sure if Bob knows he is smoking but he can tell his father himself If he is going to do this.. then he can be the one to deal with his father and tell him the effect it has on him. gotta go. talk soon
The grandkids are getting big.. My wonderful oldest son from what I can tell is doing well. He has taken on this attitude of telling it how it is.. no sugarcoating..
When he dropped his brother off after spring recss was over.. I asked him if he was going to stop over before they left to go back home.. his answer was "no.. there's nothing to do at the house, no place to sit, why should he come over to chat when he can just call us on the phone".. I really wanted to reach thru the phone and ring his neck. His bluntness hurt my feelings. I am his mother. he can stop for 5 minutes to say hi.. but I guess he thinks if his sister can't take the time to drop by why should he.. My daughter lives 10 minutes and I talk to her everyday.My son lives 2 1/2 hrs, away. Besides I like going to her house more than haviing her come here. My father when he was alive had only been in my house maybe 1 or 2 times. I never wanted him to see how I lived. and it was easier going there. I could leave when I wanted to.. who wants to tell their father to go home. I think he's mad we haven't made the trip to NJ yet.. Its hard to know when we will get to.. They want an advance notice before we even drive out of our drive way.. with hubby's schedule.. spontaneous action is the way to go as his work schedule changes at the drop of the hat. I'd be heartbroken if I made plans then at the last minute say we weren't coming because dad got called into work. I hate this tension between he and I.. but it happens. I try to not take some of his comments to heart but its hard. well thanks for letting me vent. Take care.. hi Terry
