The Light at the End of the Tunnel
August 4th, 2006

So it looks like I might have an interview in September. I still have no idea what date and I won’t know for another three weeks, but any news is better than none at all. I’m so excited to leave this place that I can hardly sit still. This house is just not big enough for two people, especially not when my mom is so demanding and nosy and nitpicky about everything. I need to get out of here, and I’m glad that by my birthday I’ll most likely be with my husband.

Tonight I’m having supper and a visit with my sister. We’ve been getting along swell lately and it’s nice to have someone in the family that I can tolerate! Since Dad died we’ve become pretty close and it’s nice. I’ll miss her when I leave, probably more than my mom! Not that I hate my mom or anything, but living together is not good. We’re so much closer emotionally when there is distance between us. She’s too nitpicky to be close to when we’re under the same roof. She’s gone for the weekend so it will be a nice reprieve.

I have no idea if I’m going to be able to finish my essays in time for the September 8th deadline. I’m gonna give it a try but I’m really not holding my breath. I don’t want to devote my entire life to this course and be exhausted by September for something I paid to have 6 months to complete! We’ll see how it goes, and maybe Acadia has a bit of leeway in that department. I’m going to give it a shot, like I said, but I’m not going to go crazy over it. If I have to graduate in May – I have to graduate in May. No big deal.

    Sorry you’re having a rough time with your mom, but it’s great that your relationship with your sister has gotten better – no matter the circumstances, that’s something you’ll treasure.

    If I may speak with the voice of experience where distance learning is concerned: get it done as soon as you can so it doesn’t hang over your head! You might not enjoy the doing of it, but you’ll LOVE the finishing of it, trust me!

    I think I agree with Mup. I have no experience in the field, but the sooner schoolin’ is over, the better. That, I think I know.
