Groundhog Day

This is my usual grad school night view. Coffee. Book. Computer or iPad. Notebook. Assorted pens, pencils, and highlighters.  I have to preface this post by saying I love being in grad school.  It definitely makes me feel like I am doing something important that will benefit both me and my family.

That being said, both semesters my classes have been on consecutive days.  Which I have found has become my own personal version of the movie Groundhog Day.  In the movie, the main character keeps repeating the same day over and over.  I have begun to feel the same.  I get up, go to work, rush home, find something to eat, rush to class, come home, sleep and then get up and do the same thing over again.  It's a surreal, funny feeling to have.  Almost like life is flying by. I am trying incredibly hard to slow down and embrace each moment, however, sometimes I feel like when I slow down I get a mountain of backed up work to rush through.  While it is stressful and frusterating at times, I wouldn't have it any other way right now.  I know running this crazy marathon now can only lead to bigger and better things on the other side.  In the mean time I'll just dream of how I'll feel when this whole fast-pased trip is over.  I don't think I'll know what to do with all of my extra time!
