Some Thoughts on what I'm facing as the semester start nears

I have Microsoft Office on my laptop, so as I lined up my books, notebooks, and so on for the start of my classes on Tuesday I put my schedule together so I could get an idea of what I'm up against.
As I suspected, it's not going to be easy.  I feel very fortunate that I found someone who was willing to talk with me live last night to help settle some of my nerves or else I would be probably be going cuckoo tonight.
I did notice one instant problem: I'm probably going to have to review material for my pharmacy technician certification before I take that exam once I'm eligible for it.  If I get the workload that I am expecting to get (we'll know as this week goes on), doing that prep may not be a feasible option.  I'm not sure how I'm going to react if it hits home that I may have to take that particular test over winter break when I almost expect to be in recovery mode again.
It's complicated further because I know I can't pull this off solo.  I'm going to have to find ways to talk to my friends here over the course of the semester and I realize it.  Does make me wonder what's going to happen if I get discouraged again like I did over the spring and summer.
