We wonder why life passes us by so quickly and I believe we do it to ourselves. The past week has consisted of work, moving into my new home, my birthday, my boyfriend’s birthday and let’s not forgets SCHOOL. Wow…talk about being stressed. These are all good things and things I chose to take part in, but boy am I tired. It is times like this when I wish I could freeze the clock and take a nap.
My move into my new place went really well; all though I was very nervous because the forecast called for rain and that would not have been good. As I am sure you all are aware of the head aches that come with moving. It consist of the pre-move which involves finding a place, qualifying for it, packing for the move, turning on utilities, furniture shopping (if needed), the move itself and then you have to unpack and put everything away. If you have someone to help great, if not I hope you have energy. So that is where I am at. It is time to start unpacking, but I have school work to do and work during the day. I live by myself so there is no one to help around the house. I hate having things sitting out and in the way so I get bother just by walking in the door.
For me school is the most important so for now I am going to learn to get to my homework first and then if I finish in time, I will focus on unpacking. As we get older most of us know what decisions are the right ones and what decisions are the wrong ones. It boils down to what we value as importance and non-importance. Being an online student we have to be sure of what is important to us because learning ultimately rides on our own shoulders. It takes lots of discipline to be an online student and this is what we signed up for.
Do times get tough?
Absolutely, but be strong and ride it out…It does not last forever and the rewards at the end are GREAT!
