I’m glad that you’ve found your footing. I am sure it will get easier as it goes on and you are going to completely run over this semester.

I work six days a week, and it definitely took time to transition. But once I did, it became the norm and now, there’s no troubles with it. However, add schoolwork to that and classes, and I can’t even imagine how overwhelming that might be. Glad you made it through the week and hopefully they’ll just keep getting easier to handle.

That sounds like a rough schedule, whichever way you look at it. I hope you’re able to carve out little self-care moments through this one day off craziness.

I honestly don’t know how you do it Ashley! You just have so much on, I’m in awe that you’re keeping your head above water!

Feel better – I’m pullin for ya!

I’m glad that the people around you understand – that, in itself, takes a good amount of burden off of your shoulders.

I’m also glad you’re finding your happy place. :)

there’s nothing worse than puddle water in your flats.

i am the same – eating a good pasta, and then a long sleep can help me feel better.

glad you’re in a space where you seem to have found some calm, despite everything being completely frenetic in the rest of your life.

In the past few weeks I’ve had a similar revelation about school. I’m not as busy as you (I don’t work while I’m taking classes), but I am in a program where most people feel a lot of pressure make A’s. In the past I was a little crazy/stressed/neurotic about my grades, but now I’m trying to enjoy learning about the content and internalizing it instead of wondering if what I just learned will be on the next test. It’ll take me a while to change my thinking, but I feel like I’m on a better track.
Good for you for taking a well deserved break.

Hang in there, lady! You can do it! I admire how driven you are and how you try to stick to all of your commitments. You’re a rockstar in my book.

I’m not NEARLY as busy as you are, but I can so relate to this blog post. Only my second week of classes and I’m already feeling stressed and overwhelmed. I’m having a feeling my Google Reader is going to be “Marked As Read” more than a few times this semester.

Well it sounds like you handled that doozie of a schedule better then I ever could of! Good for you on that aspect of things and also good for you for listening to your body and taking sick time when you really needed it :)
