School's back in session!

Today is my first day of class for my Master's studies. I am extremely excited, but also a little scared.

I'm excited because I'm finally going to start my Master's! I went back to school briefly in 2004, but life got in the way and I wasn't able to finish. (This is actually a good thing, because the 5 year break has given me some time to really ferret out what I want to do with my life and what field I want to work in - Public Health, BTW.) Now, I'm finally back on track and I'm gonna get my shiz done! I'm only going part time for now. I decided this was a wise decision, what with my new job and all (Plus, I need to make sure I have time for me and my baby!). Hopefully, next year, when the job starts paying for most of it, I'll be able to swing full time.

(For an extremely uplifting story about getting shiz done, go check out Single Ma's post. I suppose if I was really determined, I could do that, but I don't need to right now. Anyway, go give her some love!)

Anyway, I'm a little bit scared because of the daunting workload that I may face. I have taken a class with the professor before and, while he was an awesome prof and a cool guy, he gave a damn lot of work! I mean, reading and reading and reading! I'm really not worried about doing well - that comes naturally - but, I also want to keep my sanity at the same time.

I know that I can do it!

Y'all will definitely hear more about this...
