I’m starting school on Wednesday.  And I’m scared.  I know I can do it, and I silently have to give myself pep talks, but sometimes I still feel scared.  I know I’ve mentioned here and there that I am going back to school this fall.  I already have a bachelor’s degree in Health Science, but have always wanted to specialize in Ultrasound.  I applied to a program in March and found out that I was one of 16 to get in.  After meeting with an advisor over the program this last week, I found out that there were 285 that applied, some even had Masters degrees.  I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and I feel like now is a good time to go back to school.  I’m just wondering how I am going to balance everything?  Family time, blog, work, school,church.  I have to continue working 24 hours a week so that my work will reimburse my tution.  My first semester won’t be too bad, just mostly class work. Every semester after that is 24-32 hours a week of clinicals plus some class work as well.

I’m going to be honest, I’m not the best housekeeper in the world, I tend to get distracted easily and waste time.  I’m one of those moms who let their kids run around in diapers and underwear somedays while we eat cold cereal, and have to wash the clothes in the washer 3 times because I keep forgetting to take them out.  Obviously this isn’t going to work so well once school starts.  I need to get in a routine, get a schedule down, but I feel like I’m lost and don’t know where to start.  Advice, help, and good ideas are appreciated. :)
