More Challenges
Well, I figured I had quite enough challenges already with this whole graduate school thing.
Apparently not. One of my profs tells us that “It is supposed to be hard”…but I don’t think it is supposed to be quite THIS hard.
If you’ve read much of this blog you’ll know that I commute to school. The university I attend is 2.5 hours away.
Yesterday I didn’t make it. Had a car accident about 15 minutes before - now I have 2 papers and a musical to write, a paper to finish and an exam to do for my online psychology course AND I have a broken wrist and a sprained wrist, plus soft tissue injuries to my back and chest.
Oh yeah - and because I fainted while driving, apparently, I lose my drivers license.
I live in a small town with NO bus service. NONE, ZILCH, NADA. And I go to school 2.5 hours away, and teach at another one that is 45 minutes away.
If I manage to get through this back to school thing, anyone can.
I know it will be tough, flit.
I feel for ya.
Yow — that’s terrible. Hope you’re ok & can keep your license.
You’re tougher than I–I’d never do a commute that long every day!
Wow. I’m speechless. I feel so bad for you right now. That’s awful.
OMG. I’m so glad you are okay. I was whining about missing a week of school because of the flu. I wish you a speedy recovery. I broke my ankle one semester. I was in the middle of the term. I had a manual transmission so I couldn’t drive. Then I found out I was pregnant and was but on bedrest. Good times. ; )
Life is like that. You’re going along smoothly and something comes along to screw it up. Try to stay positive. The term is almost over. Take it one task at a time. You can do it.
