Last weekend I went home to spend some time with mabestie and do a couple things around the hometown.  It was a full on weekend that was essential to the wellbeing of my mental health.  School has been way more intense that I thought it was going to be.  I knew it was going to be busier and more work than full semester classes, but I didn't think it was going to be this much work.  It's good, I guess, get the classes done faster, get the degree faster, but man, is it tough! This next month is likely to be another crazy one.  My next class starts tomorrow and from the looks of the syllabus, it's going to be a butt-ton of work.  Wish me luck!
