shwew!

Well, I have had a marathon run with school this past week. All four of the classes I am taking right now are rather labor intensive, and add that on to working full time, and having 4 kids and a house to care for....well, there almost wasn't time for it all. I actually asked myself more than once what the heck I thought I was doing. However, I got it done. Maybe not as well as I would have liked, but it was...good enough? Something inside me kind of cringes at those words. Shouldn't I be doing everything with excellence? I got a 92.5 on my English essay. My professor said "This is a very good essay. With a little more care, it could have been excellent". I know, but right now, very good is good enough for me. It would stress me out beyond my capacity to deal if I strove for the perfect paper right now. Perhaps I should have waited for a later time in life to go to school so I could have more time to devote to it, but I have taken the step to finish a degree, and I tell you, by hell or high water, I will finish it. Next summer, I do not think I will take classes. I have learned that I will need that time to decompress a bit. I am almost half through and I am still hanging on. God give me the strength to make it to the finish line!
