It's that time of the semester. . .

I've noticed that a lot of other people in the class have made posts about how stressful things are right now, and I just want to say. . . . I totally second that! There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. That said, I am definitely not taking 12 hours next semester like I did this semester. . . I'm sure I'll be glad I got these classes out of the way come the end of the term, but right now, it is a huge understatement to say that school is ruling my life. So, I have resolved to only take 9 hours next semester.

I wonder how other people do it. I mean, I'm beyond stressed out going to school full-time and working part-time (and trying to throw in a personal / social life with all of that). If I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day, how do people who work full-time do it? And I know many of my classmates have families to attend to in addition to work and school.

I feel like I've learned a lot this semester. However, I just hope I've learned enough of what I'll need to know. I mean, this is practical information that I will be using in my career (if I make it that far - fingers crossed - right now, I'm just hoping to make it to Christmas), and it's all been such a flurry of information (about information) that I'm not sure how much of it I've truly absorbed, and how well. I guess we'll see. Scary, huh?

I'm trying to have heart though (trying. . . sometimes failing, but still trying). : ) At least it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who feels like she's struggling. Hang in there, everyone.

What is perhaps the most frustrating thing for me right now is that I am struggling to find time to finish reading the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer (with which I am completely enamored and obssessed). Twilight is an obstacle to homework and homework is an obstacle to Twilight. . . Sigh. . . : )
