Good Enough

I panicked a bit last night. I was and am a bit nervous that 201 is not going to be good enough. I thought if I hurried up and took an English or Psychology class this semester, an A would give me the 10 point boost I need. I saw that there are several online classes for each that are not full but the registration date has passed. I called the school of nursing to see what could be done. I explained my situation with the two B's. When I mentioned the 98 on my TEAS, she interrupted me. She said I should be doing back-flips because she's never heard of anyone getting that high of a score. I believe she used the word "phenomenal". I certainly don't say this to brag, because there is still a good chance it won't be good enough. I mean, if I'm so stinking smart, why do I have two B's? I'm just a good test taker and I mention it because it is all I have to encourage me at this point. I was told that there was no way I could enroll in an online course and it would be difficult just getting into an on-campus course at this time (courses have already started). She really thought that the extra 10 points would not be worth all the trouble because 201 is usually good enough. It all depends from semester to semester. Some semesters, people with C's get in and sometimes it takes all A's. She said most people have 10 less points on their TEAS test. She really thought I would be okay but said if I didn't make, take a class in the summer to get the 10 points. That was the plan.

All that to say, not much has changed. I tried to make a difference but it seems I was a bit late and possibly overreacting. I'm still in just Microbiology that starts this Friday. I'm still going to turn in my application and wait until May like everybody else. I'm just going hope that my TEAS score is good enough. Man, I hate "good enough".
