Diary of a Fickle White Woman

I'm not promising a good one, but it's a post. Still here. Still surviving. School has actually been significantly less difficult than I had anticipated, but I know that all could change next term.

Sure, I've already asked myself a billion times, "Lord, what have I gotten myself into?" or "Can I handle this?" but you know what, I'm just taking it one day at time and have confidence that God won't give me any more than I can handle. And did you notice I said 11 months? Yea, that's right. I'm doing a four year program in eleven months. The school says the program is 14 months, but I'm not sure where they get that for the cohorts that start in summer, because we all start in July and graduate the following August, so that's 13 months.
