Will I continue to BLOG?

I am not sure if I will continue to blog or not. Sometimes I find when I am frustrated or upset it does help me to get it out thru the blog. However, I don't get a lot of feedback so it really seems like I am just talking to myself and that is no fun for me. I do that on a daily basis. I like to blog but am not sure if it is for me or not. Only time will tell exactly what I will do with my blog page after this class is over.

AH-HA

My AH-HA moment came when I was procrastinating writing my first draft and I actually sat down to write it. The words and ideas and everything just seemed to flow out of my brain and onto the paper. It meant that I needed to trust myself and just do it. Writing to me always was difficult and I really did not want to do it. I hated having to have a length requirement. But once I started to write I found it wasn't too bad. That was my moment in time when the Nike slogan was perfect, "Just Do It". I just needed to do it and get it over with, and it wasn't bad!

The last six weeks!

WOW is the word that comes to mind to the last six weeks. I don't think I have ever felt so overwhelmed. My house has been struggling to stay healthy with all the little "bugs" that the kids bring home from school. My youngest daughter had surgery which took two weeks to recover from. Recently my oldest daughter came down with strep throat. That's just to name the personal things.

During this last six weeks I have found it rather hard to not feel like I am falling behind. I seem to put things off to the last minute and then struggle to make sure that I get things done. I feel like I don't have enough time in the day to get everything I would like to get done. UGH!!

I have not fallen behind in my work yet but feel like if I don't figure things out soon I could very well have a problem staying above water.

Thanks for reading and now on to work on my papers that have become real sense of stress for me lately!

academic challenges

When I read this question I had to take a step back and really think of the answer. I think for me that the answer to this is pretty common among most college students. Time management. I have two kids and a husband and I take care of everything in the home. I also help my mother with their house because they are both unable to take care of the cleaning. So finding time to get my homework done before I see the night turn into the next day is definitely a challenge. I often find myself waiting until everyone else is asleep and then doing it. Which means 9 pm before I even begin.

I have adjusted well I think and will be very grateful for the experience once I am done and can finally get a good night sleep!
