The pressure builds
I'm in my last semester of classes before my internship begins, and every day I feel like the weight gets heavier and heavier. I'm so paranoid about messing something up -- goofing up on an exam, setting myself back, forgetting something important, etc. There is just so much pressure- I've got two little girls that are depending on me financially, and so many goals that I want to accomplish within the next few years, all which depend on me accomplishing this semester, my internship, and finding a job shortly thereafter in a really bad economy. I know I can only take it one step at a time, and thankfully everything has gone well in the past 3 years and I am so thankful for that. I also have a great husband who is my biggest cheerleader, and I never would have been able to get this far without his constant encouragement and lifting me up when I'm emotionally down. I'm the first person in my extended family to go to college, and of course, will be to finish college when I finally get there. My family are all religious weirdos that have judged me for so long, and I can't say there won't be a huge sense of achievement when they see that I've accomplished something that none of them have been able to do. That will be a great day for so many reasons. If it would just get here already...

I am so impressed by you Katia. I don't know if I have ever told you that, but I am. You inspire me. When I start getting down on all the stuff I have to do I think about you, working, raising two girls, going to school, helping Mark with his books and the Norrena Society, and then somehow you manage to do blogs and forums and cookbooks. You are one awesome chick! I hope you realize that!
