Working + school + eating healthy + working out + maintaining a relationship is HARD. I really struggled with it when I got my MBA, and i struggle with it during the CFA. I fit a lot in, but I honestly get really really down when studying, and I don't know how to combat it. But the end is in sight for me on that thank God. <br /><br />I think you are doing an amazing job, though! So give yourself some major kudos! I am glad you felt the exam went well! I am not surprised as I think you are a smartie pants. :) AND I am especially excited for your upcoming nuptials and following along as you plan your special day!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-63528399070629803162012-10-19T16:18:11.699-07:002012-10-19T16:18:11.699-07:00I think you're doing great--there are going to...I think you're doing great--there are going to be those up and down moments since you are doing SO much, but it'll all come together. Sounds like you have a great mindset about it all...and you're right, older students tend to be more ready and better prepared than most other students. Ups: house is returning into a home, finally went to the dr, and have interviews for next week. Downs: knee is still an issue impacting running and I've had TWO rats in the house.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534188581599809339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-22502825580023028552012-10-19T13:24:46.638-07:002012-10-19T13:24:46.638-07:00Look at you go with the wedding planning!

Sounds like things are starting to come together and be less stressful. <br /><br />I'm still amazed at all the workouts you're fitting in despite how busy you are. Way to go! I had a super busy week and have NOT been able to fit in nearly as many workouts as I would like and took two rest days in a row which I rarely do. I'm not totally happy with it but it's what I gotta do to get through things right now so I'm just going with it!

Which I totally get because I do the same thing. lol. <br /><br />I've gone to Zumba 8 out of the last 10 days because our group was doing some special events. I loved it, but then I stayed up way too late trying to get other things accomplished, which is really draining me. Phew! For down, I've been frustrated at not having more time and not being able to do all the things I feel I should. For up, I taught a super huge (for me) Zumba class last night with lots of smiling participants, which made my day. :) And my blog was recently featured on some big web sites, which made me feel so honored! <br /><br />Anywho, it sounds like you're doing great! Don't be too hard on yourself (pot - kettle lol)Dianahttp://thechiclife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-23436437265342537122012-10-18T13:25:44.664-07:002012-10-18T13:25:44.664-07:00Love your motto.

Sometimes I get so frustrated with my husband because he comes home and naps every day. I don't get a nap everyday. If I am training I have to get my workout in, I work 40 hours a week, I feed/walk the dogs, do the laundry, do all of the cooking AND clean the house. I also even take out the freaking garbage and I don't even get a nap. Somedays I get really pissed and melt down occurs. I just have to realize that I can't do everything....which is hard because I am way to type A. :-)Tasha Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235287569641564538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099670252831293133.post-61123531497760950302012-10-18T12:14:46.819-07:002012-10-18T12:14:46.819-07:00ups = getting interviews for residency, running

The Up is that last week I found out that my new furniture will be installed in my campus office at the end of this week instead of in January, which is great. However, it also meant that I had to pack up everything in my office and move it out over the past couple of days so that they can take the makeshift furniture out today and install the new stuff tomorrow. Because I'm in the middle of grading midterms and getting ready to go to a conference, it's been more of an inconvenience than it might have been at other times in the semester.

That's about all I can think about right now. Too bad *I* don't have a test to study for--I'm a pro at sitting still these days!missrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595843215458849973noreply@blogger.com
