Today was so discouraging to me. I was in class from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm, which does not include sitting in traffic to get there and back. Our schedule for pharm school is so busy this semester-it's almost unbearable. We have labs 3 days a week in the morning on top of class from 1-5. On top of that, we have compounding in which we have to drive to Sugar Land at 7:30 in the morning. They give quizzes to start with and they are 20% of the grade. Conveniently, you also have to make a final grade of 80% to 'pass' the class. Baytown is on the OTHER side of Houston so I'm waking up at 5 just trying to get there in time. They are also requiring that we be at the school from 8am to 4pm this Saturday for a 'skills assessment', but they won't tell us anything about it!
I seriously thought about quiting school today. I even called David and told him I was going to. Of course I haven't-but I keep asking myself if being so stressed out all the time for a career means more that just being happy. School makes me miserable, not to mention the fact that I never get to see anyone or do anything outside of classes during the semester. I don't even see my husband during the week until I'm going to sleep at night. And NOW they are taking away my Saturday too!
Maybe it's just the busy schedule hitting me all at once. Or maybe it was just a bad day and I need to get over it. I'm tired and not really sure.
No pictures today. I don't think my internet would even work enough today to upload one. It was tough enough just to get it to open this page. I'll have some this weekend.

Go to bed and rest. That'll help some. I also ask myself, "Is this worth it?"
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine being gone for work from 7am-6pm for the rest of my life. I want to be less stressed and more available for my family, future husband and kids.
Good luck. Luckily for you, you have seen what is waiting on the other side. A career that will give you freedom.
