School & I

I'm half way through semester #3 and I'm so happy that I only have one midterm.
I believe this is why I am not currently freaking out, even though I have essays that need to be written and researched.
I'm feeling confident and quite at ease in my current surroundings.
Initially I had been terrified with the thought of returning to school.
How I would juggle both school and  child without feeling guilty that I was taking time away from my baby.
Now that I'm about to finish my 1st year things seem to have fallen into place quite nicely.
I have found a rhythm in which I can attend school and be there for my son, which makes the sacrifices more than worth it. I love what I'm majoring and minoring in and I can see how the future for us will be better as I get to do what I love, read & write.
I didn't expect school to be easy and I am not saying that it is, but enjoying what I do definitely does help.
I do get stressed out and I do have moments where I freak out about an assignment or essay but it's not the end of the world. I take a step back breath, call a friend or my mom and then get back to it while reminding myself it's ok if I don't understand that's what the professors are for.
And they're amazing, well most of them. A lot of them really take the time to sit and chat with you. Whether it's about school or personal they're really good at being there if you need them and they even got snacks to give you too.I've been very lucky, I didn't really see this for myself.
But I'm glad someone else saw this potential in me and for me and now although I still have a ways to go with school and being a single mom, I'm not alone.
I think that's what has helped me to start getting on my feet, that I am not alone, I have a good support system at home and at school.
Life is good and on the road to getting better.
& yes, life is about the journey and I'm glad that over all I enjoy it more than I don't.
