Almost there….

So, I’m now on the home stretch of school for Fall and for some reason this semester has kicked my butt. It seems like all of my teachers got together and planned out the test dates so that I had tests in literally all of classes in the same week. I have been a terrible procrastinator in the past, and I have to say that thanks to this semester, I have become a lot better about preparing in advance.
At our church leadership meetings my Pastor likes us to share some wins in our life and ministry. So, with all of the complaining that I have done over the past couple of months about how difficult it has been, I decided to find some wins for my Fall 2011 semester at APSU. I only have 3 but that’s better than none I suppose :)
Number 1: I got a lot better at prior planning, like I mentioned earlier.
Number 2: I got reacquainted with reading music and have learned to read a bass staff for piano.
Number 3: I am one semester close to my goal of nursing school!!!
That is the biggest win for me. I have had a hard time keeping my mind focused on the reason that I am doing all of this, and that is my dream of becoming a nurse. It’s hard to be maintain excitement about nursing school when you have to analyze Waltz of the Flowers for 25 minutes. I used to like that song, and now I hate it. They should change the name of Music Appreciation to Music Depreciation.
But anyway, thanks to my friends and family for being so supportive and encouraging. You guys are great and I love you all so much! And a special thank you to my husband Thomas. He has been more supportive than I could have ever hoped for. I have had times, especially this semester, where I started to doubt my ability and question the legitimacy of my desire to be going back to school. Through all of my tears and doubt and frustration, he was there, believing in me when I didn’t. He won’t let me give up and that means the world to me. Thank you Thomas. I love you.
