So today is the day...the first day of grad school courses. To say that I am overwhelmed is the biggest understatement ever. It seems like such a daunting task already! This semester I am taking theories and concepts in primary care, the role of midwifery and birth centers in america (which is really like a history of midwifery if I'm reading the syllabus right), and the biggun as I like to refer to it, pathophysiology. Now the first two aren't that bad as I am pretty sure I can read and write with a little help from the newest APA manual. But sometimes I swear I am anatomy challenged. The best I've ever done in my 3 previous anatomy classes is a B, and that didn't happen without a number of tears on my part. I'm so stressed already-I feel like I've been fending off panic attacks all day! I know that once I get into a rhythm I'll be ok but its just getting started that seems to be pretty tough for me. The bad thing is, I should be good at this! I am the woman who gave birth on Easter break and was back in nursing school 3 days later. Getting classes started, planning my almost 4 year olds birthday party on Saturday, and dealing with doctor's appointments should be a breeze.
OK...
So now that I've vented I'm going to get to work. Don't mind me...I know I can do this. For this week, I'm gonna just take it one day at a time. This is my dream and has been my dream for the last 10 + years and I am not going to let it beat me. So ready or not...here I go!
