I Don't Know

I don't know what to do with myself.

I flunked out of nursing school in the third term. I audited the second term the next year, in order to be re-admitted to the program for the third course. But I didn't pass the skills test.

So now I've done nothing at all about getting back into school or about trying some other career path for the last six months and now it's time for school to start again and I'm not prepared -- academically, emotionally or financially -- to go back to LBCC or to Chemeketa Community College in Salem (the next-nearest nursing school, and allegedly more supportive than LBCC).

So what now? I don't know.

I surely don't know.

You'll find your way, you'll figure it out or the changes will happen. Keep you head up so you can see it coming!

It's called depression. It's allowed and it's not surprising. I would point out that you don't get colonscopies for nothing and even though it came out all right, that probably means there's still something unidentified looming over you.

You're stressed out. Get a semester of rest. Life will still be there when you're ready for it. (Trust me; though it's taking longer than a semester for me, alas. 47 days till I quit my job, though!)
