I finished my first week of school! I am feeling completely overwhelmed and this afternoon had a minor anxiety attack when I realized that I made a huge mistake in going back to school full time because I can't handle 5 classes and an internship all at once and will probably flunk out. But it was a minor anxiety attack so that's good. I'm sure the major attack will come next week.
At some point in the craziness this week, I decided to look into getting a PhD in social work. Because that isn't stressful.

What the hell is wrong with me?

My mom and I (and maybe Jesse) are going to Washington, DC on January 27 to participate in the United For Peace March on Washington. While I am not convinced that withdrawing from Iraq right now is the best idea, I am certainly convinced that this war cannot continue as is. And I feel quite strongly that sending more troops is not the answer. I am excited for this opportunity to take part in what will hopefully be a powerful experience. And I am especially excited to do this with my mom.
