First of all, another really good person in my life has left this Earth, my friend Trish. She had a brain cancer and couldn't be treated. When she went through chemo and lost all her hair, her very best friends who are closest to her, shaved their heads too so she wouldn't be alone. She was my age and I don't understand how someone so wonderful had to die. She had just gotten married a few months ago to a man she'd known her whole life. I feel bad for him, losing someone so soon in such a horrible way.
My first week of school has felt like a mad race. I have a Monday afternoon class, so I get up at 6:30 for work, leave work at noon, eat a sandwich on the drive to school, class at 1-5 then home to do homework. I have an online class in Psychology, which an assignment was due that first day! I came home at 5, opened my online class and noticed I had until midnight to submit a paper already. WTF? Then had until Wednesday to read the chapters and submit another paper, also to review and critique two other students work on both assignments. I still have another assignment due by Sunday night. I don't like this online class business. I like to be able to go to class, do it and that's it, none of this string it out over the week crap. Well, good thing is it's only 5 weeks which is good because then I will have time to spend on my Portfolio class. OMG I have soooooo much work in that class. On the first day I had to show up with work. This is why I spent my Christmas vacation doing 2 years worth of work in the 3 weeks (if you are not aware, I lost all my digital files from the first 2 years of my schoolwork). I was nervous about bringing in these things. My critique wasn't that bad though. The teacher either loved it ( put a star) , approved it (a check mark) or put a big X on it because it was no good. I didn't get any stars, but I didn't get any X's either. I got 3 check marks and the rest had minor changes to make. So I have to redo all that plus 2 more projects are due next week! And I have to write a resume. And I have to finish making business forms for another class. And I have chapters to read for another class in addition to the Psychology homework. Let's see what else, what else can I pile on?
A good thing that happened this week is that my bosses took me out to lunch on Wednesday and I'm going to the rodeo parade with my friend Marci on Saturday over in Fort Worth, so that should be fun.
Now it's 2 a.m. and I can't sleep because I'm up thinking about the projects I need to do.
