Day 4: 8/27/15

Soooo, it was a rough morning after yesterday, as is apparent from my picture today. I felt quite defeated and just wanted to give up and lay in bed all day.  I took connor to the bus and then went back to bed until about 11:30.  I got up and around and went to class.  Class was long and my teacher likes to say uuuuhhhhh all the time.  He skips around and it's kind of hard to follow sometimes, but I'm thinking to myself, well at least it's mostly coursework and not a ton of huge projects like all of my other classes.

I stopped by my mom's office to talk to her for a minute and ended up talking with EIU women's basketball coach.  She was very nice and reassuring and reminded me just to take everything one thing at a time and I will be just fine.

I came home and started on my homework for tomorrow.  I took connor to his baseball practice and ran by my sister's to see my niece and chatted for a bit before I came home and finished up some homework.  I'm doing my best to just go one day at a time.  It works sometimes and others I start freaking out again.

I was feeling better today, just trying to reassure myself that I can do all of this.  It's not going to be easy, but I can do it.  I meet with one of my professors tomorrow to discuss some research ideas and hopefully get a better direction for my research paper.  That's pretty much it for today. Another 5am tomorrow, but at least I don't have my 3pm class, so I'll be done by noon.
