my second quarter at TCC

Tomorrow is the beginning of my second quarter. I am having mixed emotions about returning. I am feeling very guilty about leaving my kids with a babysitter so i can go to class. My 7 year old is starting his spring break this week so he will be home with a sitter with his little brother (age 2) while I am at school. I would love to stay home with them. I feel like a bad mother for not being with them. I know that I am getting my education to better our life as a family. I also know that they will be fine without me for a little while.

I am looking forward to the new quarter. I enjoy learning new things and seeing how other people around me are adjusting to the new classes. I am nervous because I am shy and feel very uncomfortable meeting new people. This week will be jam packed with meeting new people in all my classes. Meeting instructors and finding out the ins and outs of my courses.

It should be interesting. Wish me luck!

And so it begins

I started this blog for my English 101 class. I do not really have any reason to have a blog but I am willing to try something new and maybe I will find things that I love. My biggest goal is to find out who I am besides a mother and a wife. I need to learn to love myself and to value me.

Starting with school
I am about to start my second quarter at Tacoma Community College. I have mixed emotions about it. I enjoy learning but I feel very guilty not being home with my children. They are my life. I need to learn to balance my time so I can be a great mom but also to be my own person.

We shall see what happens..........
