Barby - life after accounting 2

The past 4 weeks have been such a challenge trying to juggle school, work, and life. I made a promise to myself that this time I would manage my time better. I only have 9 classes to go, just hang in there a little longer and it will all be worth it. And I was doing so well. I wasn't stressed - too much - I was attending meetings, tracking - I had it under control. Then along comes accounting 2. The workload of this class is unlike any of my others. I spend almost every night working on it and all the plans I had for managing my time without spreading myself too thin went right out the window. I am lucky if I have had more than two days a week for exercise and that is really starting to bother me. Despite all this extra work I have managed to do well. I am losing about a pound a week which is a little below my average but at least I'm losing. I manage to track almost every day, and I'm making smarter choices too. I am even starting to cook so I don't have to eat takeout. I take a 10 minute walk twice a day at work to get away from my desk and clear my head. And instead of driving myself crazy trying to do everything myself I am putting myself at the mercy of my team in class. I offer what I can, do my part, and trust in them to do theirs. Despite how hard this class has been, I am finding ways to cope, and doing well with it. I have just one more week of this class and then I am hoping to be able to get back to my old routine!
