Register 4 fall classes? REALLY!

Wow, what happened to spring? It is supposed to snow this weekend. I saw that we can begin to register for fall classes & my first thought was, what, wait, I am not ready yet! Time is going by so fast I cannot keep up. Major life desicions are here knocking on my door demanding my attention. We have 5 weeks of this program to go. It seems impossible. As much as I will miss everyone, I will not miss the pressure. This program is demanding. There has been a great side benefit, you learn a lot about yourself & how you perform under pressure. This morning we had one of April's killer tests. But, we learned in Pittsburgh that those tests are going to be of great benefit to us. Not only do me know the material we have developed study strategies. Everything that we have learned in the past two years will benefit us all in many facets of life. For example if someone holds a gun to my head I know not to panic & that I need to think. Hey, standing in front of the class like a deer in headlights may save your life. As someone said to me do something, anything even if it is wrong. It has been great to stop coughing & start feeling better & not have the brain fog & fatigue. It would have been better if I had not stood on the scales & realized I gained 10+ pounds. Everything goes better & your attitude is better when you feel healthy. We found out today that one of us got accepted to a program in Italy! Congrats! It will be fun to see who goes where & who does what. I expect great things because we are a room full of motivated, intelligent & or course pretty individuals. What is it Aprils telephone says? Hello gorgeous? What you do or take away from any program is up to you. No matter what the outcome, you will use these skills in your professional & personal life. I know that my skills need work but I am really proud that I made it through this program. Your grades are not handed to you, you work really hard for them. There is no way to really cheat, your performance is out there for everyone to see. As these weeks count down take a good look @ the people you have spent 5 days a week with for 2 years & 2 crazy workshops, 5 women in one room hello! Take a good look @ Ruby & April. When you walk out that door on May 13 it may be the last time you actually see some of these people. You will occasionally chat on Facebook or run into each other at a workshop, but the common goal is gone & we will move on w our lives. It has been a pleasure to be in class & get to know each on of you. You are a special group of people. I would not trade this experience, but there have been days........ K
