Last weekend of relaxation

Well, this long Labor Day weekend is going to be the last one that I can just kick back and relax. Classes start on Tuesday. Wow.

Now, I know that I'm just taking online courses, so technically I will be sitting with my feet up the whole time I'm doing coursework. But, I will have to think. I will have to research. I will have to write. I will have to do more than aimlessly feed animals and harvest crops on Farmville. (Oops, I think I just outed myself :) )

I'm really looking forward to all the opportunities that this is going to bring me. I can't wait to pick up on something that I never thought I would be able to finish. I'm still just in awe of it all.

I feel nervous because the classes are locked until Tuesday. I can't get a sneak at the syllabi so I can plan my life in advance. SO, I think the first order of business when I log in on Tuesday will be to print the syllabi and map out my life for the next 15 weeks. With all that I have going on (work, school, family) it's really important for me to plan things well.

There was so much that I wanted to do before school started. I wanted to work out my budget. I wanted to organize things at home more. I wanted to feel like everything was in place so that I could just think about school. But, in true Sandra fashion, I've done none of that. Because I know that I will be able to find time to do those things even with school. I think it's more important for me to just enjoy these last few moments before the insanity sets in.

So, on Tuesday, I will remember how to focus and think critically. I will NOT keep thinking about AFTER this degree (law school!). I will take it one day at a time and not get ahead of myself.

Bachelor's degree, here I come!
