Brief Update

Hi everyone.  I know I rarely update my blog with anything personal lately but life is just BUSY!

So busy in fact that I haven't even had as much time to devote to my schoolwork.  My original goal was to finish these 3 Athabasca University classes by Christmas.  Even if I work non-stop between now and then I don't think that is a feasible goal anymore.

I was losing sleep over the stress of it all, and I was also turning into super-grouchy mom.  That is not fun for anyone.

So I made a tough decision to continue working on these classes over the next semester, as I technically have until the end of March to complete them.  This means more flexibility and less stress for me.

I have also registered for 1 course at the U of R that begins in January.  It is the last pre-requisite that I need in order to actually apply for the Social Work program.  They only take applications until the middle of January, so I also need to begin working on filling it out.

I would appreciate your prayers about this application, as I need to draw from my own personal work and volunteer experiences to answer the detailed questions about why I want to become a Social Worker.  I don't think I'm great with words but I want to ensure that I do this correctly, and I believe that this is where God wants me.
