New Beginnings

Usually change is fun and welcomed with open arms. It's nice to break from routine once in a while. But no, that is not the case with this semester. It was so wonderful over break, sleeping in until 9 or 10, not having plans for the day or anywhere I needed to be. Every once in a while I even got bored. Yes I, a mother of a young child, just said I got bored. Very rare.
How early in the semester is it acceptable to have a mental breakdown? Because mine was yesterday, only two days in. So naturally I sent a lengthy, worry-filled email to my advisor and dropped classes without a back up plan. Patience is not a skill that you have when you're as antsy as I am. So instead of waiting for a reply I sat myself outside of the advising office this morning at 7:30 AM when they don't even open until 8. It was worth it.
I am now back to my Tuesday/Thursday schedule with three additional online classes. So even though I won't be in class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I will still be doing homework for my online classes, preparing for my Tuesday/Thursday classes, cleaning the house, going to appointments, keeping up with laundry, and running all of the errands. But honestly I would take that any day over actually going to class, especially one that I don't enjoy.

This Kate Spade planner will be my best friend this semester, I didn't use it nearly enough in the Fall so I have some making up to do.

I hope everyone else's new semesters, for those of you in school, are going smoothly. For everyone else, I hope your weeks are going well, we're halfway through!
