I returned to school this spring after having not been formally enrolled for more than one class at a time for over 10 years. This is HARD. I don’t mean I am not up to the challenge, I thought I was. I did not take many things into consideration. My children are seriously busy with their own school work. They need their MOM. The girls sports take up quite a bit of our time. I tend to procrastinate unpleasant things, and some of the tasks I have had to do this semester have been tedious, but I did try. Some of the tasks are outside of my comfort zone. I can do alot of things pretty well, but at this point in my life there is not one thing I do exceptionally well. I wish I could find something that I do exceptionally well, it might make things easier. I just wish I felt like some of this stuff was relevant. I can more easily pour myself into a tedious task if I can comprehend the relevance and “bigger picture” of the task.
And now we are at a juncture, the end of 2011. Did online summer classes and 9 hours of on-campus for Fall. This is not working so well for me. Actually being IN class consumes most of my day, and for classes in which we really do not do much or take much away from being in the class.
