Well, I've been in school now for about 5 weeks. Talk about intimidating, but I'm hanging in there. I did drop my history class because there was just too much reading involved and I didn't like the instructor. She told us on the first day that if we brought any Glen Beck into her class she would shredd us to pieces. Well, personally I like Glen Beck and I knew we would butt heads all semester. So I cut the loss early and will take it another time.
My math class is doing okay and so is my English class. However, my psychology class really is not what I thought it would be. I thought it would be a class on how people interacted and why they did what they do. Not so. It's a class on who invented it and why and all sorts of dates and how the brain works. So I'm just planning on getting it out of the way and then being done with that sort of thing. No more Social Worker misgivings. I've decided that I wouldn't make a very good Social worker as I would take everyone's problems home with me and dwell on them each night. (not a good thing for a marriage).
So I will continue to work and do my classes and then decide what I want to be when I grow up later on.
In the meantime, Relief Society is going good and I'm learning alot. The sisters are patient and loving. Although I am having a hard time getting the Visiting Teaching to take off. How do you instill a desire in the sisters to go and care about each other? There are those that are so willing and then there are those that say they are just too busy. How can you be too busy to take care of another's needs? Isn't that what we're here to do? Sometimes I just don't get it and it boggles my mind. But it's all good and we're still plugging along at it. I am learning to take it one day at a time.

I think VT is really important, however I must say when I feel overwhelmed it is really hard to think about going out and trying to help someone else. So I can understand how some of them feel. I am so glad I don't have those responsibilities, and pray that I never will!!
