Back to School

So somewhere along the line I got the crazy notion that I should go back to school. In theory it sounded like a good idea. In reality with the first week under my belt I am thinking I must be a little crazy, or at least a sucker for punishment...

I have pulled my APA manual out and loaded up the printer with paper. I'd like to say that my first course in my master's program is thrilling and keeping me on the edge of my seat, but that would be a lie. Even the name sounds foreboding "Philosophical Foundations of Healthcare".

I am trying to find the work/home/school balance, which is proving to be a challenge. I do like being a student again (even if the course material is on the dry side). I have this incredible need to do well which I may need to let go of. I need to remember that a perfect mark isn't as important as understanding and implementing the materials I am learning.

I have bid farewell to having any kind of social life, not that I really had one to begin with! If you need to find me just look under my desk where I will be rocking and holding my blankie :)
