Pulling out my hair...


This is what I look like lately...aside from the perfectly pressed clothes and accessories. I have also forgone applying makeup.

I am having a terribly hard semester at school! My professor has extremely unrealistic expectations for a 5 week course, especially for students who have class 3 nights per week and also work full time jobs. I'm usually really good with managing my time to prioritize work, family, school... As of today, I've never felt so overwhelmed in my life by a single course.

If you are curious as to where I've been, all of my free time is consumed with school assignments right now. As mentioned, I have class 3 nights per week and I haven't been to bed before midnight in weeks. Add in that my son is still waking once per night and that I am now 23 weeks pregnant, and you will end up with one extremely exhausted mommy who is about to burst at any given moment!

However, this class will not defeat me... I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...it's dim, but it's there!

Oh, Elaine! I don't know how you do it. I pray you will have all you need to get through this class and that your health will be preserved.

Boo to school! I totally understand the feeling, and of course the end result is worth it, but it still STINKS!

Wow, sounds like a TOUGH class!!! Praying you get through it in one piece. I def know the staying up to the wee hours working on school since you have no time to do it any earlier. Too many days I actually watch the sun rise as I sit typing at my computer. NOT fun! When is the class over? How many more do you have until you are entirely done? You will be in my prayers!!
