Stressful week
I am having trouble managing my time. Working two jobs and managing my schedule is very difficult for me. I run two businesses a beauty salon and a driving school. The nice thing about this is that the businesses are next door to each other so that makes it a little bit easier to run from one place to another. It is sometimes funny because I will be doing a client and then people from the driving school are looking for me. I have two offices =). I try to do my school work in between jobs when I have time but it is hard to concentrate. I enjoy both jobs it is just stressful.This week have been difficult for me. My grandma has been in the hospital for a week now. She is hopefully being sent home tomorrow. My grandma has heart problems. She has had couple heart attacks in the past couple years. The doctors have said that they do not know how she has survived and that her desire to live is very strong. My grandma is 92 years old and wants to keep on living. The doctors have said many times that she is not going to make it but she has proven them wrong. She is also two hours away from us so it is sometimes difficult to visit her. She has proven to be a very strong lady and hopefully she can enjoy life a little bit longer.

Be thankful for what you have
Today, I found out the saddest thing possible. A man I knew was found dead in an alley. I was devastated for the many people who knew him. He was very shy and self reserved. Poor man did not have family nearby and you would see him very sad and lonely all the time. This tragic story made me realize that we should not take for granted what we have because others may want what we have. This poor man did not have his family and died by himself in an alley. He was found by people who happened to go by there the following day. Poor man he suffered so much when he was alive. He did not have a decent job, place to stay and was apparently ill.I think to all of us it is important to have our family and our friends close by. No one likes to be alone. I feel awful that this man had to die by himself. When that time comes in my life I wish my loved ones will be there by my side. My prayers go to his family in Mexico and everyone who will remember him. He is now resting in peace.

Life as an online student
Online school has been the best decision I have made. I love being part of an online university because I have more flexibility with my time. I have to admit it has been very difficult for me to get adjusted to the online environment. I had never taken classes online before so the first couple of week of school I was very lost. I am now more adjusted and enjoying it very much. I work seven days a week which would make it very hard for me to go to a campus. Having online classes has given me the flexibility to organize my schedule depending on what is best for me. I still feel I need to organize my time more wisely because sometimes I leave things for the last moment of I do not set time to do what I need to do. So far I have enjoyed online school very much. I love the idea that I have classes with people who do not live in the same town or even the same state. It is amazing to say that my classmates are from many parts of the U.S. Online school is great because you meet people with different backgrounds, career goals and age groups. Its amazing.
