Focus



As I mentioned before, I am going back to school. What started out as me looking into taking classes to be able to do medical billing and coding turned into me going to school to get a degree in Healthcare Administration. I'm still not sure exactly how that happened.
I am doing all of my schooling online, and the coursework is pretty intense. There are a lot of essays I have to write. I love to write, but about things I care about, or things that I can just make up in my imagination. I hate having to do expository essays about things that I really do not know much about. Oh well, it's a necessary evil, right? So I'm in my third block of classes and I have finally begun to learn medical terminology. I know some from working in the hospital, but this course really gives you a good working knowledge of the words. I had no clue that every medical term can be broken down into smaller pieces. It is like trying to learn a foreign language!
I am so tired, though. Trying to learn all of this on top of going to work and taking care of the children really has me run down. I find it so hard to focus. I have an assignment that was due Friday, and I am barely half way through with it today. I have another assignment due tonight, worth big points. I can barely concentrate on my schoolwork because I have so much more going on to think about. I need a natural, herbal remedy for this. I don't want to have to take ADD meds. I seriously think I am headed down that road though!
