1 Week Down, Many More To Go


     I woke up with a long list of all the things I was going to get accomplished Friday morning; chapters I was going to read, articles I was going to study, papers I was going to get a jump start on. Then my morning happened.

  • A grumpy child replaced my happy girl and two hours were wasted fighting to get some basic tasks completed.
  • Then time was spent dealing with financial aid. (I need an assistant to handle the business of me going to school so I can just go to school.)
  • After that it was time for lunch.

     When I finally sat down to tackle my list, I began to wonder what the point was to working at all.  After all, how would I even be able to focus on my materials in the afternoon?  Another point that negative voice made was that half my day was already gone.  (I found this point difficult to argue against.)  It suggested I should just write off the other half and try again tomorrow.

     That negative voice will be my downfall.  I need to somehow replace it with a voice that instead says "half a day's work is better than none!" Or "let's buckle down and get some items checked off on our list!" And I need that voice to be enthusiastic and mean it.

    Can I buy that more optimistic voice with some of my financial aid because if I don't get that soon, this is going to be a rough 15 months.
