but I have not been having fun.
I have been swamped with end of the semester papers, projects and exams
I have been stressed out and overwhelmed
and not much fun to be around I hear
So I turn in one more project tonight, have one more exam next week and I am done!!!
for a month.
Then summer session starts.
I originally had planned to take 2 classes. After some soul searching and reevaluating my priorities, I decided to just take one class. And in the fall, just take one class. And in the spring, we shall see.
When I am in school, that takes priority, and everything else has to line up behind. Well on my list of priorities, school is around number 4 or 5.
So I am slowing down. It will add a year till graduation, I only have 9 classes left. But I don't care.
I do care about my family, my personal artwork and having time to explore other interests.
So expect to see more of me here, soon...
Oh-hope things slow down a bit and you can do what you really want to do.
ReplyDeletehang in there. it is hard, but so worth it when finished. I got my masters at age 45 with three kids at home and a very supportive husband. Of course, the house has never looked the same, but it was worth it in the pleasure I have gotten in doing what I love. It also sets a good example to your kids of how important education is in your life.
ReplyDeleteCanngil,
ReplyDeleteI love hearing stories like that, thanks for sharing.
I'm not quitting school, no way, I'm just slowing down a bit. I find my life becoming a bit unmanageable, and everything gets done, but not done well. I have been concentrating on the finish line for so long that life is passing me by, so I'm taking back control.
I do like that my kids see me doing 'homework' and telling them 'mama is going to school now'
They can just get used to the idea of being in school for a long long time.
