Foggy Inclinations

This morning was my first venture into the scary world of graduate classes. This is also my first 7:45 am class ever in my collegiate career. Bravo. It is a General Secondary Education Methods class and I've already fallen in love with it. In just one three hour period, the teacher has managed to reassure and inspire me in my chosen vocation. I think I am making the right choice with my life and the direction it is heading. I'm very clear on where I want to be in a few years, it is just the in between steps that are a bit foggy. Mainly just on how to get by from day to day.  Like how to be a good wife to my husband and support and encourage him while I am furthering my own education. How to work 20+ hrs a week, go to school 24 hrs a week and still have to gusto to clean and prepare meals. Kaleb helps some and we are working on the teamwork aspect of it all, but sometimes it does feel very overwhelming. As though I will never get beyond this point in my life. The thought of having babies terrifies me. The thought of a real job excites me. Moving to Korea still = scary, but at the same time it is something that I want to do deeply.


Haven't studied Korean much lately, but I choose to think it is because I am working too much and not because I am super lazy. I really do need to put more effort in however. I've discovered that I am really not that great at multitasking with large projects. Like if I work a lot then I put all of my energy into working and then into recovering from work. Same goes with schoolwork and with learning Korean. It is rather hard for me to do more than one of these at a time with 100% effort.

Started reading 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I'll keep you updated as to how I like it. I've always enjoyed his use of magical realism, so I'm eager to see how and if he uses it in this novel.

Picking up a check from the Business office today( or am suppose to) so I gotta run.
