I have had a really up and down semester.  I think that I have learned that taking online classes with a full time job, a house, and two kids is not a good mix whatsoever. I underestimated the work I would have to put in and how much time away from my kids and everything I love to do.  I think that if I would have tried harder and gotten into a rythm at the start of the semester it would have been alot easier. Now I know what to expect next time I have online classes though. Life has been hectic in the last few months, but it is finally starting to slow down and things are getting alot more simple.  Im hoping it keeps going this way so that I can have a little more simple time going through school or else its going to take me a very long time to get done with school.  I have found out that kids go hand in hand with procrastination.  It is really easy to use kids as an excuse also, so I need to try and steer away from that and just own up to it and get my stuff done.  Hopefully I get the hang of it next semester and get into a routine that fits me and my family much better than the one I am in right now, because obviously this one isn't working too great.  I sure do wish I would have got the majority if not all of my school work done before I got married.  That is in the past now and I dont regret the decision of getting married at all.  It is much easier to go through all of this with another person right there, that is for sure. I know if I work hard and change just a little, I will be just fine and I'll be able to knock this thing out. (325)
