tracythomp - the time has come

I am finally starting on all the things I have been waiting to do. However they have all seem to hit me at once. Yesterday was my first day of class. It was good to sit in a classroom again. I'm weird but i love school. Anyway... I am taking a deep breath and trying to look at all my classes in small chuncks. The thing that is different from grad school is that it is difficult when i live 45 min from campus plus I am pretty much my own motivator. The professors are already talking about thesis ideas which is a little scary. I'm excited though, it is refreashing to be learning about things i love. It may be hard to balance full time work and full time school and the love of my life, so pray for me and adam. This week adam is in michigan for his best friends bachelor party so my freaking out is between me and annie (my cat) and i know she doesn't care.
This weekend I am leaving for Wisconsin where the wedding actually is. It should be really fun. I think the wedding is outside and then the reception is on a boat. One neat thing about it is that they are getting married a day before we did. So we are celebrating out First Anniversary and they are getting married. We are really excited for them they are an amazing couple and amazing friends.
Next Wednesday is my first day with the adolescents. I'm finally moving to that unit at work. I am so excited. I have loved my experience working with addicts but my heart is not in it like it should be. I do love seeing peoples lives changed and watching them form from having the weight of the world on their shoulders to having release. It has just been difficult to relate.
It seems like change is ahead for all members of our family, even though we are stretched across the continent I am glad we have the chance to read excerpts from each others lives.
Well i must go now to the gym..... argh
