In other news, my new discovery is that I will be much more functional if I can just accept that I cannot put my "all" into everything I do this semester. For example, I am not expecting an "A" on my first exam Wednesday. As usual, I will aim for it, but because of my inability to appropriate sufficient study time, I will not expect it.
Meanwhile, my re-vamped schedule allows me a certain amount of prayer, sleep, exercise and recreation aside from academics and work. The idea is that in this schedule of moderation, I will find peace. Hopefully my prefectionist nature won't disturb the schedule (or the peace!).
My new personal motto, credit St. Augustine:
"Tranquillitas ordinis."

Amen, sis! I too, am trying so hard to "cover the bases" that I need to. Prayer, attention to the kids, attention to Andrew, housework and personal time. Very hard for me to keep it all balanced. All in moderation..... that's the hardest part.
