Lawd, I'm Tired

I'm really...done. I'm just done. At least, I want to be done. It's been over two years now of working full-time (plus) and going to school part-time. I once greeted each class with youthful vigor and enthusiasm, but now it's more like fatigue and mild irritation.

The school director is giving me a rather difficult time about missing 2 clinic sessions for the first full-week getaway vacation I've had since starting school. In her words--I couldn't believe--"We can't just say [to clients], 'sorry, all the students are at the beach.'" That made me mad.

A small comfort: I spoke to a student even closer to graduation than I, and it's clear that lots of people are worn out. (Currently, he's being chastised for not having enough "elective credits." I wasn't aware there was a quota. Hope I have enough...) He reminded me that it will all be worth it when we've completed to program.

I sure hope so.
