Took my Lab Final yesterday and I got an A!!!! FVCK YEAH! I have never studied this much in my life for 2 classes. I have my Lecture Final next Wed. Time to buckle down and bust my ass for that class too.

I was soooo worried about my final grade for lab, training went just ok. I managed to hit all my numbers but I had to really get pissed off at the bar to hit my deadlift numbers.

Nice work both in the gym and school.

What's the end game on this education?

Thanks.

First, have to get accepted into the Nursing program but end game is a specialization ie. Masters in Nursing. Perhaps PA, LPN, or CRNA.

Very cool. With your self-discipline I have no doubt you will succeed.

I quit my job and went back to school at 27 and it was the best thing I ever did. Had some rough years but life is fantastic now.

Thanks. I'm definitely the "old" man in class or at least I feel that way. Going back at 37 is crazy but I'm confident it'll be worth it.

Sacrifice now to enjoy later. With my current education I could go administrative side of nursing and make bank but I don't want to do that.

Had a decent day. Didn't even wear knee sleeves on my speed squats. 1 big chain weighed more then I thought... 1 big I though weighed 40lbs but actually weighed in right at 49lbs. Solid pressing today.

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!!!

Had a GREAT Day training today. Forgot to bring my power pants for pulls and I'm glad I did. I'm not sure why I started wearing them for pulls but I wonder if they weren't hurting me. Perhaps they were throwing me out of my groove. I'll still wear them for my heavy squats but I think I'll stop wearing them for the next 2 months for pulls and see what happens.

Feels good doesn't it?! Weight's still looking great in here. Good stuff.

It does feel good and what feels better is I got A's in both classes. Time to apply for the nursing program and really get after it. I have 4 classes in fall.

I'm a bit surprised how well the bar is moving considering I'm the lightest I've been in over a decade, tipping the scales at 262. I'm excited to get my pulls back in the high 5's by the years end and I'm pumped to see what I'll squat.

I might not post as regularly as I used to but I'm following along BI. Congrats on the grades, doesn't get much better than that.
