I'm feeling very overwhelmed by school recently and I'm considering re-prioritizing or cutting out some of my original list of 10 intentions.

Here are my thoughts:

- grades/school are still #1
- taking myself is very important overall b/c if I can't do that then I can't function properly/effectively
- bonding with hubby & family is important
- ots package is due by July 17 & I think I should align those priories with my school schedule & make them 2nd to that
- gre & grad schoo… Continue

I'm excited about my 2nd season, I have so much going on in the next few months.

4) get into best shape ever...gym, cardio, weights, exercise classes, running

But, after listening to Marianne Williamson on the way home (on Oprah xm) from school, I decided I should at least do a short one.… Continue

I had a great weekend all in all. I got some stuff done, but also laid back a little too.

D5-Friday was quiet and I got some studying done. I was invited to go out, but couldn't since I had my writing exam. I had to go out and buy a dictionary for my test, there was a very nice girl at the checkout that was asking how I liked my school (ODU) and I encouraged her to pursue her degree. I also got some Chinese food while I was out, I know not part of the weight loss plan, it's my biggest weakness.… Continue
