Hard at work Well, I'm still at it. It has been a rough and tough couple of weeks. There has been a lot of reading, assessments, webinars, and a huge assessment assignment (part one of two). So far, I still have an "A" in the class. I am learning so much and have found my short-term memory! I work on my assignments every chance I can. I watch my webinars while I'm on the treadmill and read my textbook while I wait. For example, during my visit to the dealership (due to an electronic recall), I sat and waited 2 hours for my car to be ready. during my wait, I read one chapter and worked on an assignment. I now don't believe "there isn't time for school." It really is about making time. Where there's a will, there's a way. It appears that after all of this work and keeping myself organized and on track, it has helped me remember things (short-term memory). My brain has been in exercise mode. My Lupus has not made an appearance. No flar...
Week two started today and I am dying!! Graduate school is kicking my butt. What was I thinking? Well, can't turn back now. I signed my loan and personally made myself the promise of doing this. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. There is always a light. I have been taking care of myself. I'm trying to eat better and keeping myself hydrated. I now take Vitamin D, Omega 3's, low dosage aspirin, and Magnesium. No prescription drugs. No caffeine. No alcohol. I've been walking more than I have been running. It's better on the joints, plus I have been doing a lot of my school work on this magical machine. Any-hoo. For those contemplating on applying for a graduate program, think about it 4 times before doing it. It consumes your life!
