Almost there..

I am almost done with my first week fo school and I'm reeling at the moment. I am trying to breathe, but it's difficult. I realize it's an adjustment, but part of me is wondering what one earth I was thinking when I signed on for this.

It's been easier with Kate there in most of my classes. She's a great encourager and I'm grateful for her and to her for all she's helped me with this week. I mean, she's fresh out of high school whereas I've had a 22 year leave of absence...so-to-speak.

I'm tired, though and ready for a break. I don't think I'll do more than 12-13 credit hours. It's just a lot -- at least right now. I still have to fulfill work study and teach on top of that!

I know, I know -- things will calm down soon and I'll be wondering what the big deal is/was. But, right now, I'm pooped and not sure if I've done the right thing.
