First Week

I wanted to talk a little bit about my first week at school. My first day I was a little confused on how it all worked. There is still a little bit I am confused on. Once I worked through what all I was supposed to be doing, it's gotten a lot better. My sleep patterns have already changed and I must say so far that has been the hardest. My first night I didn't get done with homework until 11:30 p.m. because I am on overtime at work so I don't get done until 10 p.m., then I go straight into school work. The part that concerns me a little is this is just orientation. The purpose of it is to show you what it will be like when you start your actual classes. At first I thought this would be really dumb, but it is much needed. Once my classes start I will not be able to get away with only an hour of work. I will have to put a lot of thought into what I am doing and failing is not an option. The assignments are pretty easy so far. What takes me the longest is not everything is in one place. You start out in one thing, then you have to go to other tabs to get the rest of the things that are due. My fear of failing is starting to act up and I'm starting to do the oh no, what if i fail this thing that I always do to myself. I am trying to keep that out of my mind and just let the Lord handle it. That is very hard for me to do. If you are a parent going back to school, how do you juggle your day to day duties and school and work? Time management is going to be crucial in my life, and the more stressed I feel, the worse this skill becomes. Do you have any advice or tips you could share? If you are reading this I would like to ask you to say a small prayer for me that God will guide my life and I will turn all my worries over to Him. Thank you for taking time to stop by and read my blog :)
