Writing a paper is like riding a bike

Ok, not really, but for me it kind of is. This probably comes as a surprise to some, but English has always been a stronger subject for me. Call me a nerd, but I've officially completed my first week of classes and I think I'm going to make it. It's been just short of a year since my last higher education course, and I've truly missed it. There's something about the challenge of writing a good paper that totally brings me to the table. Jason wonders how I can knock out a five plus page paper within an hour, with background noise and pull an A grade. Um, I'm a woman, also known as professional multitasker.

I was anxious to see how the time management factor would play out for us. Even though I'm home all day with the girls, I don't even attempt homework during this time frame unless it's reading during naptime. Jason works full time, and also attends school part-time; and he struggles with school more so than me, so when he works on it-it's the only thing he does, ahem, he's a man. I've seemed to find a happy medium between attending classes, and doing homework as well as managing life. The inner geek in me is embracing the ability to write papers again.
