LIFE AND SCHOOL

            I am feeling a little bit stressed at this point in the semester. There are many different things going on in my life right now, so most days I feel like I have a lot on my plate. I just started a new job which required me to go to Los Angeles for the past three weeks and today was my first day back. It felt a little overwhelming today at school, because I felt I had a lot of stuff thrown at me all at once. I have been feeling overwhelmed with my job as well because there are so many things to learn. Trying to keep up with my school work while I was away did not go very well because I had to have most of my focus on my job. The one thing I do like is that I only go to school Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, so on those days that is all I have to worry about. Towards the end of my days I usually have to pick up my little brother from football practice, so I really do not have any time at the beginning of the day or at the end. I have realized that at the end of my days I'm not only physically exhausted, but mentally exhausted as well. The last job I had didn't require me to work as much, so I guess I am not really used to working full days. It’s a pretty hectic time in my life right now but I have always been up for a challenge, and I'm definitely willing to get back on track with my school work. The thing that keeps me motivated is having a career and job that I truly love and enjoy. My job right now is good, but it’s not great. To be successful is what I want, so one day I won’t have to balance work, school, and all the other activities.
