Stressful Semester

Last week, I downloaded like a dozen files from the UP OU portal for the readings that I need to finish in order to answer our assignments, case studies and to be able to participate in the discussion board. And I was like, did I made the right choice in going back to school again?

I know it is just the start of the semester and I just made a post here a few weeks ago that I am really excited for this new adventure that hubby and I are getting into but after reading the course outline and checking out the readings that I have to accomplish, it made me really think if I should really be doing this. LOL. I miss my carefree life. Imagine before, I just have to go to work, play with my daughter, work a little extra hours for my sideline so I have money left for my vices like my addiction to shopping and that was it. But now I have to make a schedule so I can manage my time well since I have a dozen of things on my list to finish like case studies, assignments, projects, exams. Ahh, it is really stressing me out.

The stress level for me is so high that I haven’t find the energy to start with the readings that our professors required for the coming week in order to participate in the discussion board.

Looks like I will be needing the following in order to survive this semester:

1. Inspiration – I really need all the inspiration that I can get to help me get through this semester.
2. Strong cup of coffee everyday to keep me awake since I am sure that I need to sleep late to finish all my tasks. Imagine, I have a full time job, an obligation with my husband and daughter, a sideline and then I have tasks for my masteral degree. I am sure all of you will agree that the 24 hours a day that I have is not enough to finish all of this.
3. Effective hair loss treatment since I am sure I will experience hair loss because this is what I normally experience if I am really stress out.
4. Motivation to help me finish all my tasks even if I already feel so tired doing all of this.

Wish me luck. It will be a very busy and stressful three months for me….I hope I am just feeling this way because it is my first semester so I still don't know what to expect and hopefully I will be able to get all the inspiration that I can get to finally finish my graduate course.
