Grad school, work, etc...

Well it is the beginning of the semester and once again I feel overwhelmed. For some reason I feel behind and stressed with all that I have to do. I want to start trying to have a family and then BAM I start school and I think it is impossible. Work is work, well I like what I do but the politics are NASTY! I just want to push a button all day and then go home. I know that would get old quick but something to make my life much more simple. I mean much of the stress is brought upon by myself, but as soon as I get ahold of my life I lose control again. Ok so aside from this semester I just learned tonight that I have to do 600 hours of an internship in one semester, in the Fall. So I am supposed to do all that I am doing now and a FREE, yes free no pay, internship completing 600 hours in 3 months. Does that sound logical? Well one day at a time. First I must apply for candidacy for my grad school. Work like I said before is work. I love it but I am tired of all this juggling. At work it is a juggle. In the morning it is prekindergarten for 3.5 hours then I work with all the other grade levels for 3.5 hours in the afternoon. I had just got a grasp on my groups of 3rd and 4th grade then my wonderful (not sarcastic, he is great) decided to change it up. Now I will only work with 4th grade. Hmmmmm. I like 4th grade but 6 weeks before testing I have to change my groups around. That just means I have to start over and meet new kids. I have to establish some rapport with them before I throw testing strategies at them and that takes a week. SO I have 5 weeks to prepare students for state testing. Hmmmm, is all I can say. I am a little frustrated because ABOVE all that I have my half-marathon this Sunday. I am really excited about it but I have tons of work to do for work and school before that. That really sucks. So before I get to my fun of running I should get some homework done.
May all this drama continue.
