I have just come to the realization of the obvious, but of what I wasn't seeing: I'm trying to do too much at once. I have been struggling lately with the load of school work on top of working full-time. I just don't have enough time! I'm taking two classes to prepare myself for medical coding (anatomy and medical vocabulary) and they take a ton of time just for the studying. I'm also taking an accounting class at Clark trying to finish up my AA, and it's tough. I was going to start my actual coding prep class (that costs $2000 not including the cost of books) that's four months long and pretty intense starting at the end of November or the beginning of December whenever my other two classes get finished and just take one class at Clark, but I only have about 6 or 7 classes left to finish my AA after this term. I just need to suck it up and and finish my AA now and continue with the medical coding thing later. One step at a time... I need to get it in my head that I will never get anything done if I try to do too much at once, and I'll just be a stressed out mess. As much as I hate to put off the coding thing since it would provide more income, I need to focus on finishing my degree and doing my best at that. So... I think I'm going to relax during December for winter break, and then take a fulll load at clark for winter and spring term, then if I have a class left after that, I can finish up my requirements over summer term. Then I'll be done. Guh. THEN I will continue with the medical coding thing. I have to remember that I'm young and that I have a lot of time and learning and such ahead of me. Why try to do everything all at once and miss the little things in life? I need to remember that.
Anywho, besides that, John and I went to a party last night for the first time in a long time. It was with his paintballing buddies. It was great, but it could have done better without little kids around. Babysitters exist for a reason. But really, after they went to bed I didn't feel so bad. I actually didn't suck at beer pong and even made the winning shot in one of the matches! I woke up all cramped up on a love seat with John this morning and that's when we figured we would drive home so we could stretch out in my bed. Last night was well needed and appreciated. It felt good to let loose.
