Buzzkill

The between-semesters vacation is over. Today I go back to school. I finished my Associates Degree over the summer, but it doesn't quite feel real because I'm still going to school to get my bachelor's now. Maybe the associates will feel more real when I receive the certificate next month.

So once again school has taken that hated second place slot of things that keep me away from my family most of the time. The first place slot has always been work.

I figured out this morning that the way my school and work schedules work out, I won't really see my kids between Sunday and Friday nights from now until christmas. And I may not even see Erin that much in those times either. I absolutely hate that. I hope it's as worth it as everyone says and that I can get us into a house when (or hopefully before) this is all over and I have my bachelor's degree in a couple years.

At least it's not hated classes like Trigonometry or Chemistry or Statistics anymore. Because I finished my generals with my associates, I can now focus on the fun stuff like computer operations and intro to programming.
