Whirlwind of a week

WOW, what a week! Grad school and my internship started on Monday, so I'm still trying to get into a routine and figuring out how to juggle my many commitments! I wasn't as nervous as I expected I would be on Monday morning but then again I have visited twice before so I was familiar. My mentor, Dee Dee is awesome and she had my office set up for me and sent out an e-mail to everyone in the department so I had people coming into my office and welcoming me all morning. I jumped right in with meetings to find out what I needed to do with all my projects that I will working on until April.

I am still trying to process that this is my final semester. This is something that I have wanted for as long as I can remember and to think its less than 4 months away, very surreal! And of course many days I think how in the world am I going to work 35-42 hours/week, do my internship, keep up with 2 grad classes, study for my CHES certification exam, train for my half marathon and still have time to see my friends/family and most importantly, sleep? I am trying to get ahead in my classes so hopefully I can keep that up until May. I'll keep ya posted!
