week 2: Taking on more than I should?

      My life has started to change in the past few months much faster than I ever intended for it to. I have realized that when you decide to share your life with someone that also means you are sharing your life with all the other people who are apart of that person's life as well. I have recently found out that I will be moving to Clearwater, Florida as soon as I graduate which will be in March, 2012. I have also decided that I did not want to wait very long to join my new family in the sunshine state so I took on the task of taking 21 credit hours for the next three quarters and work around 18 hours a week. While this seemed like a good idea in the beginning I have began to ask myself, "What was I thinking?" I have a standard that I hold myself to when it comes to school and my grades...keeping that standard with 21 credit hours may be harder than I thought. I am totally committed to accomplishing my goal because I do not want my family in another state without me for very long. I have also been researching ways to help with stress and how to find time for myself, time for me to relax. I have also started to wonder if my brain can every reach a point where it is too full. I know that may sound silly to some people but it seems that every week I shove so much stuff in there I am bound to forget some of it. I really want to learn from my classes not just retain information long enough to get an A on the test. I have been researching ways to increase my brain power and how to retain information longer.
