As a fellow Grad Student, I must say that you are if nothing else… very ambitious. I work full time and I found it to be very stressful taking 2 classes at a time. Between reading, studying, homework, quizzes and the dang blasted papers… I was a mess. A highly educated and overtly aware MESS!

The knowledge hungry over achiever in me is screaming BRAVA and YOU GO GIRL! Like I’m your very own personal cheerleader…that you don’t know and have never met.

But the 3x burnt out, working woman is saying… there is never a good time to be overwhelmed, burt out, stressed out or “messy”. There just isn’t. Plus…it’s bad for the skin and hair. (my daddy told me that and he’s a doctor so he has to be right…on some level anyway).

All that was to say that as long as you have no problem bowing out gracefully when the pressure is on then go for it. They do have summer graduations and although it may not be as fabulous for Mom-dukes… it is nonetheless Graduation!!

Good Luck & God Bless (which in itself is kinda stupid b/c if you say God Bless then why do you need Luck?) So God Bless!
