My school books arrived a couple days ago for 2 classes that start in mid-February. I’ve been debating with myself ever since they arrived – do I start reading ahead in preparation for the upcoming classes or do I take advantage of my dwindling free time and wait until the classes actually start before starting to read the school books?
So far, my desire to keep doing fun things with my time has won out and I have not picked up the books and started studying ahead of time. I fully realize that I’m going to have significantly less free time once classes start, so I may as well enjoy myself while I can. To that end, I’m trying to finish up my gluten-free dining reviews from our recent trip to Disney. I posted the review tonight for the Whispering Canyon Cafe, but still have a few to go.

After a couple false starts, it looks like I’m finally going through with it – returning to school for my bachelors degree. Finally! I’ve been out of high school for MANY years, and although I’ve attended college in the past, I never finished. Something or other always came up and got in the way of my finishing my education. Well, no more! I’m doing this for a couple reasons, but mostly for myself – to finish what I started and to get that degree!
Due to my work and home life schedule, I’m going back to school by way of online university. It’s going to be a challenge, I know, but I’m committed. I’m not really looking forward to the loss of what little free time I had. It’s going to take some pretty shrewd time management. I’m going to try and make regular updates to my blog….sort of a Julie/Julia thing, although not for the same reason.
I remember all too well how difficult it is to find time for recreational reading and writing while going to school….and that was when I was only going to school and didn’t hold a full-time job and part-time job. My goal is to try and set aside time not only for family functions, but free time for myself….for recreational reading and writing (in this blog).
Let the games begin!
