Funny thing is, as stressful as this can be (and it IS, especially when compounded with the lack of sleep that this comparatively older student needs desperately), I'm happy and at peace being back in school. This stress is nothing compared to the circus I had been dealing with at previous jobs. Plus, I've been wanting to do this for about 25 years but never pulled the trigger. Maybe I was lazy. Maybe I was scared. Doesn't matter anymore. I'm here and (generally) enjoying it...
But I have a midterm on Monday. Yikes!
Edit: I should note that dealing with the stress for me is all about perspective.
