I'm taking a break from school this quarter.

It has become clear to me that when the stress and anxiety get overwhelming, and I end up coming home after work wanting nothing more than a good cry and a glass of wine, I need to step back from school and get a handle on my life. My eyes feel so heavy that I can barely keep them open and some days I wonder how I actually make it out of bed and in to work. I'm honestly exhausted, and as much as I love my place of employment, between graduate school and my job, I don't know how much more I can take.

Hopefully the next 10 weeks of freedom will give me the energy I need to make it through the rest of my program. But I guess I'm not keeping my fingers crossed. I have never been so exhausted in my life.
