Reflections on first 2 quarters

So I have been in the PA program for 4 months and It has been quite a journey already.
There has been so much infomation already, that it's hard to stay on top of things, and we are not even in our 3rd or 4th year yet! I have been struggling, and quite frankly, it scares me. We have to have a 2.8 to stay in the program(over a period of 3 semesters) and I didnt make it. Mine was a 2.67. I was really dissapointed and was at the boarderline for a be in at least 2 classes, and didnt get there.
This quarter isnt starting off that great. I bombed my chemistry and biology and didnt do that hot in my health class, which should be review. I dont know what happened. There was just so much, and math is not my favorite subject, so I need to revamp my study and homework habits and just figure out something else. Seriously, chem hmwk takes me at least 12 hrs a week to finish online. One thing I have learned is that you have to be positive. A good attitude really makes a difference when you are overwhelmed...
I was praying about all this, and I really felt the peace of God that everything was going to be alright. So, whatever the circumstances, God's will prevails. There is nothing I can do but trust Him, and trust that this is the right place to be. It's hard for me to rest in that though, when you see others that are doing better than you in your classes, but I know there will always be people like that.
