Back to School

So I'm an official student. The honeymoon of the orientation and first class has worn off. I'm now a doctoral student at the University of San Francisco.

I love it so far, but I've had a headache for 3 days straight! What is happening!?! Cappy tells me that it's normal--I'm clearly not used to academic reading and thinking.

A comparison:
My mind is like a soccer player who hasn't been on the pitch for ages but has kept up jogging for fitness. Turning years of on/off jogging into strenuous fits and starts for professional soccer is proving to be a situation. But not one that I can't overcome.

It's the making money part that gets in the way, really.

In my Master's program, I was working part-time. I had entire days that I could spend at the library and 3 hour evening classes as opposed to four hour Saturdays twice a month.

Nevertheless, I feel alive.
