Spring term

Cheers to the start of spring term 2013.

As I skim over the syllabi (not sure if that is even a word) for my 9 credits of graduate courses, my heart rate increases a bit.  Seeing the planner quickly filling with assignment due dates, and nightshifts at work, and evening classes is a bit much.

But an encouraging colleague told me this morning, as a wife, mother, RN, and grad student, you just do it.  Somehow, someway, it gets done.  Then at the end of the term you sit back and reflect and wonder, how in the world it all got done.

I can't wait for that moment of reflection.  

Until then, I'll just be hanging on, counting down the days until April, for the next break from classes.  I'll hope for the budget requests at work be granted, for my family to stay healthy, for sleep to come easy, and when it doesn't I'll be thankful for caffeine :).
