Wow my first week of graduate school has been crazy. I am only taking 3 classes but 2 are online so I spend a lot of time reading and typing. It does not help that I have gotten lazy! Being out of school for a year and not living in the college atmosphere anymore, makes it hard for me to finish my assignments. I associate being at home with just relaxing and watching tv so I have to do better. I have 3 more assignments due tomorrow and have not started!

I received an assistantship so I will be working part time at school every day. I am happy to be working again and getting my education paid for. I am not so happy about the driving part though. I created my schedule to where I can come in at noon until 5 on Mondays. I did this because I have an evening class at 6:00 on Monday nights so this will be great because I wont have to drive half an hour from my house to school for my evening class since I will already be on campus. The rest of the week I will be working from 10am-3pm. I like this because I don't have to worry about the morning traffic and rush hour traffic and I shouldn't pass too many school zones since kids will be in school and out during the times that I will be driving to work. I am still afraid though.

I am praying for faith. It is just scary after the accident. It's already scary starting out driving but when you throw surviving an accident, using one hand, not having any left field vision, and driving across town every day without full coverage insurance it is kind of frightening. Monday is MLK day so I start work Tuesday. Please keep me in your prayers that I will not get in another accident. God blessed me with a license and car, now a job and school, but the devil is trying to take it all away using fear of driving to make me feel defeated so I ask for your prayers that I will not let this fear of driving stop me from reaching my goals.
