Ah, the joys of fall. Back to school time. I've been working on a bachelor's degree for 4 years now. I feel like I have been in school my whole life. Some days, I feel like school is my life.
Working full-time, going to school part-time, finding the time to take care of myself and my son, spending time with friends and just having fun. It seems as though there is a constant battle to get things done.

At times, I just want to give up. I want to be a normal person plugging away at a 9-5 job. Not have any goals, not strive so hard. Just worry about gardening and which paperback novel I'm going to read this weekend. Unfortunately, I'm not capable of doing that. I mean, don't get me wrong. When I'm on break between quarters, that is exactly where I live. Tending flowers and working my way through a stack of novels. I can't think of a better way to spend a weekend. I just can't do it all the time.

Today has been one of those weeks where I'm really feeling the pressure. My home computer died. I know nothing about working on computers. If you push the button and it doesn't work, I'm having a meltdown. My school deadlines this week consist of 2 quizes and a test. Needless to say I'm stressing out trying to figure out how I'm going to watch 4 hours worth of lectures and complete all my online assignments while I'm at work. Fortunately our IT guy is really nice and he offered to look at my computer for me. I'm just hoping the hard drive didn't crash beyond all repair. I just bought the thing last year.

Never a dull moment around here.
