I can now claim victory over that Chemistry exam that I've worried about these past few weeks. It was every bit as difficult as I expected, too. They say stress isn't good for you, but in truth it was the stress that pushed me to study hard for it. My stomach isn't sorted out yet but at least now I can breathe a sigh of relief for a short time.

There were a few problems that I was not totally sure about, but I think this time around I've done worlds better than the last time I took this class. It's almost a natural high to have done so well on the exam. I even managed to complete a bonus that was on the exam as well. I can't help but feel bad for my classmates though. Two of them were complaining that they didn't study and they were expecting the worst- kinda like I felt the first time I took this class. I'm surprised at myself that I took so much care to get this exam right. I've been pretty lazy(let's be honest) up until now. It's like I kicked it into 5th gear to study hard, and it paid off.

As for the stress on my stomach, I have it under control. Unfortunately my insurance requested a re-authorization before they would pay for the Protonix. I contacted my surgeon's office and they said they'll try to get it covered for me, and if that doesn't work I'll have to try an alternative. I hope it works out, but I won't know until I call the pharmacy tomorrow.

That's it for now. I'll post my grade when I get it pack. Oh yeah, I'm on a new shift, one that is far better than before and it fits my school schedule perfectly!
