How is school influencing my life?!

I am halfway through my fourth term at Kaplan University.  I feel like I have a pretty good flow down when it comes to school by this point.  However, life always throws curve balls, and sometimes I have to juggle and rearrange my schedule to fit school in.  The beauty of online learning is that, that's not a problem!  I can do school whenever I want to, as long as I meet my weekly deadlines.  I do alot of school work late at night, but my kids have started back to school, and I have started back to work part-time, so late nights aren't a great option anymore.  I'm having to find more time during the day to get school done.  I have a very busy life outside of school, but always in the back of my mind, I'm thinking about what I need to get done for school.  I feel like being in school is keeping me sharper; my brain doesn't have a chance to turn to mush.  I also feel really proud of myself and like I am accomplishing something important just for myself, which as most mothers know, doesn't happen alot.  I enjoy school, even with all of its challenges, and even when it feels like I will be doing it forever.
