And we're off...

The marthon pace of life has officially began. On Monday we moved all of our belongings, except for Princess Ellie, into our apartment. Right now it looks like we live in a fortress of boxes. I'm not going to lie, it takes everything in me to not spend all my time away from work to get this place organized.

Why can't I spend my non-working time on organizing? Because I'm also now a full-time graduate student. I thought I was just a plain ol' seminary student but my professors all strongly emphasized that they expect a certain level of committement and ability. Their point is strongly emphasized by the amount of reading I have due already. By this time next week I'm supposed to have read five TEXT books! In the immortal words of Bart Simpson "Holy Cow man!"

To complete this marathon I still have to work my normal 40-50 hour a week job. A job that's going well, but is filled challenges as I work to fix the mistakes of former employees.

So...the gun has fired, the race has begun and now i'm praying that I can finish the semester without dying of exhaustion. It would be even better to have a dog that's still alive, a husband that feels loved and appreciated, a job that's still going smoothly, and at least a B in each class. Pray for us!

Now back to my classes - I had to take a momentary break to find a pen and somehow got distracted with a blog. This IS going to be a long semester.
