Today was the first day of my week-long Psychopathology course at the seminary. I don’t know how I’ve felt leading up to it; mostly I’ve just been focusing on doing work in advance so that the family (and my sanity) stays intact throughout. Marc is off this week, so it’s like we’re switching roles for a week.

The good news? No homework in the evenings! This is a total surprise. I thought there would be, especially after hearing people talk about these week-long courses being completely draining and the focus of all their thoughts for the week. This scared me. There’s no way that’s even possible as a mother.

The other good news? I didn’t feel completely inept in the classroom setting. Sure this may only be my second class, but I’ve got a good brain on my shoulders and I’ve done enough reading for the class ahead of time that I don’t feel out of the loop.

So, maybe I can finish another paper for my other class or (gasp! shock!) watch a movie some night this week.

Anyway… all of that to say that despite being exhausted, not getting much sleep last night, and having a sore-throat and headache all day, today was good. And the week will be good too.
