One week ago today, I started my classes as a first time college student. So far, so good. My math grade is currently 100% and I go to my first music class tomorrow. Not sure how I'm going to like it, but I'm willing to give it everything I've got. I'm excited to hear my first class discussion on a reading we did this week. I wonder if anyone will appreciate my point of view? Then there is psychology. I feel like I'm actually learning something by reading my text book. It's not what I expected and I'm finding it fascinating.
I'm learning to mix home work, school and working outside the home as well as being able to spend more time with my kids. My goal is to get on a better schedule so that I can have dinner done a little earlier each night, and bed times earlier too. I shot for a 9:30 goal tonight and missed it by about an hour. It's much better than it was a month or two ago, when I wasn't getting home until well after 11 pm. The kids would fluctuate between falling asleep before I got home so I wouldn't get to see them at all, to staying up until nearly 2 in the morning because they couldn't fall asleep after waiting up for me and getting their "second wind". We've have a rough, complicated schedule and it affected all of us negatively. I am thrilled to be home before 9 pm every night now.
This was also my first weekend working just the morning shift. I love it. I was able to take my homework with me and get a little reading done between the breakfast and lunch crowds. I wasn't ideal, but I didn't want to waste a precious minute. I was able to get one assignment done and a good chunk read for my psychology class.
I'm trying to keep good sleep and study habits. I don't want to lose my momentum. Hopefully keeping this blog updated will keep me motivated so I have good things to post.
