Countdown

3 days, 8 hours and 2 minutes remain. That's my current countdown for classes starting back up for Summer semester. I'm not worried about passing, these are not difficult subjects and I'm an excellent student. What I'm worried about is my loss of free time, break in my journey, loss of my self.

I've tried to cram so much into this break between semesters this time and feel like I've accomplished so little. I wish I'd met more people, done more things, experienced MORE.

Honestly I've met some wonderful people, and continue to chat with them in e-mail and look forward to meeting them again in the future. I've learned TONS, but unfortunately haven't been as good at conveying what I've learned to my husband.

Now I feel like my feet will be shackled with classes. Like some great weight pulling me down and making my life miserable.

Last Summer I took only one class, a statistics class. I HATED it!! The teacher (to use the term LOOSELY) was horrible and could barely figure out how to turn on the room lights, let alone had no clue how to convey complex mathematics to a room full of students. But I recognized my frustration was solely with him, not with Summer classes in general. So now I'm registered for THREE classes, Intro to Ethics, Intro to Humanities, and Intro to Internet Development. I'm interested in all three and need them for my degree, so that should be fine. But working full time, raising kids and taking THREE night classes will make my life very busy. I've never taken this many classes before at one time, but I have a real need to get my degree as quickly as possible so I'm pushing my limits.

3 days, 7 hours and fifty one minutes now. Every minute counts. Every second.

Peace and Long Life,
