It's been a while I know. This year has been so full of ups and downs I can barely hold on, let alone take the time to process and write it all down. Grad school has consumed my life. No I mean it truly has! My waking hours are saturated with thoughts of school and studying and paying for it all somehow. I find myself wistfully thinking of the

Good to hear from you hon! Been there, done that. The volume of things required from you in grad school is enormous, but at least it's generally in your field of study. And if you have to do a thesis it's even more so. I remember pulling all-nighters, something I never had to do often as an undergrad, and I was married at the time. My poor hubby didn't see much of me for two years.

Hang in there, it doesn't last forever. When you have that diploma in your hand it will be worth it, you'll see. I remember how pleased I was to wear a hood with the colors of my school and my discipline, which I was not allowed to do in my B.A. graduation. Now every time I attend a graduaduation at the college where I teach, I wear that hood with pride. Best of Luck!

Thanks for your kind words. I know that when all is said and done I will be thrilled to finish. It's just the the path getting there is filled with so many obstacles...it makes a body wonder. Thanks again for the good luck wishes! They are most welcome. :)

Well, whether you're strong enough for the program or if you "have the chops" to make it there, I figure you're answering your questions yourself by still being there and using your energies to focus as you should be. That alone shows the maturity and the drive to get through this - albeit highly competitive though mundane - phase in your life

Hey there! Laughing.. I really didn't expect any response to this woe is me post. And surprise! I have two! I have missed you too. Man these hills are killing me. I keep wondering if someone/God/the fates/whatever will give a sista a break. (chuckles) In truth I think I am my own worst enemy. But I thank you sincerely for your words and support. It's easy to get lost in the quagmire of my mind and forget that I have friends cheering me on. Thank you for the reminder. It is greatly appreciated!
In other news.. I notice you are going thru quite a few changes yourself. I know I have been absent for quite sometime but just know that I am cheering for you as well.
(throwing you some love dude *smirk)
