Blessed Sleep

It’s amazing to me that I’ve already gotten four hours’ sleep tonight. Yeah, I was in bed around 2100 on a Monday night. Disturbing, no? This no-school thing might be good for me.

You may not remember, or I may never have said it in your presence, but when I was morking on my undergraduate degree I decided I was going to quit engineering. I decided, “As soon as this semester is over I am going to change my major.” At the end of the semester, I would decide, I will try it “one more time.” I “one more time”ed it through to a BS in engineering.

See, but I’m already weary now, already behind, and work is not going to get any simpler in the next month. In fact, it’s about to get a whole lot worse, which is going to make school all the harder to catch up on.

I can’t see myself doing this for four years. I just can’t.

Working together with grad school is tough as hell.

I was allowed to focus on it heavily during my first year since Jessica wasn’t here in Huntsville yet… and truth be told, I don’t think I would have kept going after that first semester if she had been.

That said, once I got past the first semester, it got easier. Not the work necessarily, but rather the drive to finish it. I found that once I had the first few credits under my belt, I couldn’t quit anymore because if I did those earlier credits wouldn’t do me any good. (and I’d have had to pay a chunk of money back to my company)

There’s only about a month left in the semester and then you’ll get a break for a month. Look forward to that and it’ll be here before you know it (whether you want it to be or not)
