So Much To Do…

I’m back to working five days a week (I just worked three the last two), and with it comes an increase in stuff. By stuff I mean stuff to study. Today a new online course begins with (why not?) three weekly assignments, I have a speech CLEP on Friday, and I still have to study for a promotion test next month; by study I mean a couple hours a night spent…studying. Oh yeah…I also have a full-time job. Is it possible for the brain to explode?

I’m not too concerned about the online course. It’s a simple communications course, but because it’s online I have to ensure I stay on top of the course materials. If not, things can go down hill quickly. The speech CLEP is a different story. I’m stressing out big time and not even sure why. It’s not the speech that bothers me, it’s the way I have to deliver it. I am handed a topic (any topic) and I have ten minutes to prepare a speech on it. What if I have no idea what the topic is, or don’t have an opinion? I’ll be in some trouble…let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Let’s hope I succeed. If I do I get my Associates Degree…finally.

Studying for promotion isn’t difficult, just boring and time consuming…but worth it. Steph laughs at how busy I am and says I should just do what she does and after work just come home and relax. I probably should. But then she says that’s why she married me. So maybe I shouldn’t. Who knows. Either way I’m looking forward to March when most of this will be out of the way. Of course, by then I’m sure I will find new and exciting things to wrap my head around.
