Nursing School

So, I started nursing school at the beginning of July, which is why I've been MIA for so long.  I was in class everyday 'til 4 or 5, and I spent my weekends spending time with my family.  I was very surprised and happy with how well I adapted to school.  Having a baby and husband made it difficult, but not impossible so far.  I came out with an A and a B this summer, so I'd say I'm doing pretty good... The summer semester was suppose to ease us into the program, so I don't know how well I'll do next semester. O well, I'm gonna try my hardest either way!  We had a group project this semester that counted for 40% of our grade.  I hate group projects, because I'd rather do all the work myself than depend on someone else to do it.  Anyway, I did the best I could with the people I was working with.  Apparently, one member didn't think I did my part. She gave me a bad peer review.  Now the teachers used the reviews to make sure everyone did equal amounts of work.  If someone didn't do their part, they were docked a letter grade.  Thankfully, my teacher called me to clarify with me what happened before she docked my grade.  I couldn't believe a member of my group would do that!  I was heart broken... I knew who it was, and I have known this particular person for years.  We graduated from high school together!  I've been praying daily for wisdom and guidance on how to deal with her and people like her.  I like the "kill them with kindness" method, so that's what I've been trying to do.  I text her, before I knew about the review, to make sure she was OK and to tell her I was there for her.  Apparently that didn't work.  O well, I've gotta learn that I can't please everyone.  I feel God is using this situation to teach me self control.  It's been very hard, but I'm doing pretty good so far!
Proverbs 16:32 NLT
³² 32      Better to be patient than powerful;
                   better to have self-control than to conquer a city.
