This Semester
Every semester there is a nervousness that returns at the beginning of each new semester. This is my third semester in College and I would have to say it has been the hardest. I started out with four classes this semester, but cut down to three because of the hours. It seems like all of my teachers have gotten together and decided to give me an overload of homework. It’s not just the workload given by each teacher, but my personal life sucked this semester as well. As for my personal life it started with my son have emotional issues, and only being able to stay at school till 2pm. This cuts my study time and class time sufficiently. During Labor Day weekend, we went to Knott’s Berry Farm for a visit with my son’s father. I missed one day that week, but made up the work. Keeping on track for the next two weeks, and then my son’s dad killed himself. Everything went to hell after that. I made up the work I missed for the week I went to Oregon for the ceremonies. However the quality of work was not what I normally put out, because of the emotional stress. So now I am trying to keep my grades up to at least a C average. Failing on top of everything would make me go crazier than I already am. It’s hard though. The emotions are a reminder that I have to do it. Regardless of my mental state no one is going to do it but me. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I honestly can’t wait for this semester to be over. Who knows what next semester will bring, but I know some events that happened in these last ten weeks cannot repeat themselves.
The Lord will carry your burdens away and the challenges you are facing now will just make you stronger... for your son. I am truly sorry to read about your son's father's tragic death. Your son is so cute, I must add.

ReplyDeleteThat is a lot to deal with. I'm really sorry it all happened to happen this one semester for you. I guess you can look at it this way and that is you were at you lowest of lows and now it can only go up from here. The semester and year is almost over so get ready to start fresh. Hope your son is doing better.

ReplyDeleteJessica, what you have endured has only made you stronger...not only for yourself, but for your son. I'm so proud of you and everything that you've accomplished so far...remember, our live is a journey, and in that journey we will laugh, cry, stumble, and at times, fall. The differnce is that you will get up, brush yourself off and keep on going foward...because that's what you do...I will keep you in my prayers always....and know that you are surrounded by people who know the real you...no matter how "hard" you try to be...you are loved.....peace
