I took the plunge a few months back... from full-time employee to full-time student. It was quite an adjustment. I went from the one with no free time, to having more than I knew what to do with. But, of course... it wasn't long until I found ways to fill my days. Now I am completely accustomed to leisurely weekdays. I have even learned how to sleep in and how to completely waste time... random trips to target, spontaneous baking... you name it. Unfortunately, that makes it harder to transition back into the work world. Now, I will be a full-time employee AND a full-time student.... hmmm, I wonder how this is going to work out?
The good news is I will not have a heavy school load until the fall and I am only working 6 hours per day in the office. So, there is no reason I can not handle this... right? I mean people do this all the time, even people with families to care for!
Yesterday was my last weekday of freedom. I checked everything off of my to do list... my taxes, an oil change, a doctors appointment, etc. When exactly am I going to get this stuff done from now on, I am not sure. But somehow, I think I will manage.
I am actually looking forward to regaining some productivity. I am a highly efficient person who has fallen prey to some laziness with all of this free time. I am especially looking forward to having a steady paycheck once more.
I have kind of been prepping for the transition for the last few weeks... making less commitments, kinda scaling back on my social calendar. Didn't want to shock my system. We will see how that worked out for me. heh.
