Who off this summer? Worried.

Published

I'm off this summer and I have some ambivalence about it. Rather than enjoy my time home with the kids (something I've been SO excited about), I'm now experiencing some trepidation. Has anyone felt this way?

I've been moving full steam ahead for nearly two years (I went to summer school last year), and this is my first break. I've mapped my courses out and it ended up that I do not need to do summer school this year, because I can easily finish up my remaining courses next year during a normal full semester.

BUT, why do I feel guilty, like I can't relax? :) And, why do I worry I'll lose everything I've learned as well as momentum? I will return to school in August, Fall semester.

Would love some feedback! :) Thank you.

I feel the same way. I've been going non stop, every semester. I took the summer off and now I don't know what to do with myself..LOL. I'm ready for August.

I feel you both. My friend who is already in the nursing program laughed at me because I was ready for my program to start. I asked her what book I should buy far as Practice ATI and she would not tell me. I never got a chance to relax from school until this summer. I often talk about it with my mom who is in summer school. I come over just to help her study and do homework...lol I am such a nerd :). I keep telling myself soon then I will be wishing for summer once more.

I was thinking I'd enjoy a summer off, but since I went back to school.... I want it over faster! Can't do daytime summer school but I'll be taking my first online course. So a few weeks break from my last class, with the online starting in a week and a half...that was a good enough break. I want to trek forward. The more under the belt, the closer to the goal.

I had 3 weeks off between the fall semester and first summer session....I didnt know what to do with myself....for the last year it has been full steam ahead.....I have 2 busy kids....and I run a photography business.....along with normal life...I don't know what "downtime" is. I was dying of boredom before summer started lol.

Part of me wishes I had the time off with my kids......the other part of me knows I don't know how to slow down. I'm not taking classes in summer 2 though soooo I will get another smallish break before fall semster
