Memorial Day weekend

It seems to me, but I may be wrong here, the beginning of this journey started in earnest about a year ago this weekend. That was when I was accepted into the 2nd Degree Program at GMU. I was also accepted at NOVA into their associate degree program, but I ended declining that pathway in lieu of the GMU program because it was longer and the degree was not a bachelors.

I will never know for sure if the other road would have been better. I do know that I've grown attached to some of my classmates, which may have happened at NOVA, but less likely. We at GMU have been together a lot of the time, seeing each other and knowing there was someone else (70 or so someones) who felt the same pain as we each felt individually. It helped.

I've grown used to having no time to myself and always having something urgent that needed my attention. It seems difficult to me to have free time now. I've put off so many things, like cleaning, that I'm not sure where to begin again.

I suppose it will come to me!
