My how summer flew by!
How is the summer over? I didn’t get a summer … I had my nose in a book!
I finished my two summer semesters wherein I took 4 classes; I made A’s in all of them. Anatomy & Physiology I and II nearly killed me, but somehow I survived it. 
I met a lot of interesting people in my anatomy classes. We had an awful lot of study groups and we spent many, many hours together. The people I studied with included two 18-year-olds girls fresh out of high school, a 27-year-old single mom and a 38-year-old Iraq veteran. Quite an eclectic group. It’s amazing how well you can get to know people in a short period of time … but when you’re spending many hours a day most days studying together – it happens!
So here I am about to start my fall semester Monday, the same day both of my kids start KINDERGARTEN. Weren’t they just born? How is this possible?
So anyway, in addition to all 3 of us going to school on Monday, I’ve got several irons in the fire job-wise. Two different departments at the school are interested in me doing some work for them (through the work-study program, which I really know nothing about), and one other thing that I can’t really mention yet. Don’t want to be presumptuous.
This summer has been a hard one. Aside from my excruciatingly hard classes, we had a lot of sickness – from bronchitis to stomach bugs. I guess that’s to be expected, since this was Mikaela’s first-ever daycare experience. Come on, immunity … build yourself up!
The summer was also full of other stressors and impossible situations, so much so that I really feel like our family is under attack. Why, I don’t know … we’re not particularly doing a whole lot ‘for the kingdom’ at the moment. I guess the enemy is always seeking to harm, even when you wouldn’t expect it. So if you get a chance … please say a prayer this pattern will stop!
I would apologize again for being a blogging slacker, but honestly – I don’t need any more guilt. I feel guilty about things I shouldn’t feel guilty about, that’s just a negative part of my personality … so I’m not adding this blog to the list of things to fret over. No offense.
So, yeah … the summer is gone (well, in theory – it’s still as hot as hell here in TX) and we did pretty much nothing fun. I’m hoping I can sneak in a trip to the beach with Jay and the kids sometime in the next couple of months. I’m sure we’ll have to see how my job schedule works out first though.
