What am I doing here? Oh...and my introduction

I was told that this is the best way to sort your thoughts and beat stress. So, I'm going to try this out for a while. Here's where it starts.

I'm 34 and I've been in my "good government job" for 10 years. I have an education in Psychology that, to be absolutely honest, is not all that interesting. So, this fall, I will be going back to school...Law School. I will be in the part-time program which begins with 8 credit hours each of the first 2 semesters. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go to part-time at work.

To make all of this work, I have to really adjust my work schedule and probably won't get home to my family until 6:30 or 7:00 at night. I am accustomed to getting off work at 4:30 and being home by 5:00 (although when I worked in Washington DC I never got home before 7:30.) This has been my schedule for the past 14 months, so the addition of law school and later nights will be very difficult.

I need to really buckle down and I will probably have to cut back on all of my hobbies. Well, whoever reads this, please wish me luck and drop me a line when you want to.
