Biology is bloody hard................

      When I first started this semester (back to school after 12 yrs), I was so excited with the overall attitude of "I can do this, let's do this". I do not want to sound defeatist but wow - biology is really what is kicking my butt. I study for hours and hours, do all of the homework, the objectives, SI, and tutoring in Oconee 300. I have not been able to get the results that I am going for and I am not sure what else I can possibly do. I like my instructor very much. It is not the memorizing or really even the understanding what I am studying, it is more about putting it all together and seeing the big picture. It is very frustrating and this is only the beginning - BIO101. I still have three additional and more advanced biology courses to go before I can start the nursing program. I know I will pass and get there but it is really frustrating when you are falling short of your goals. Aaaaahhh!!!
