Manic Moments

I know I haven't posted in about a week but that's because I've been having as close to a manic moment as I have. There has been no exuberance or binge shopping. Rather I've been busily doing school work.
I just finished another class---in a week! From October 2-8, I turned in 14 assignments. One was creating a grading rubric but the rest were two to four page essays. I basically churned out about 30 pages of writing in a week. So I should be good when it comes time to do my Capstone. I figure I should have that done in, oh what, a weekend.
I spent about four hours a night typing. Most of the reading was already covered in other courses so it was a matter of reviewing and scanning it from the perspective of this course. I still have a bit more reading to do but the syllabus gave twelve weeks to do the work I did in seven nights!
Hopefully, all of it passes the first go round and I don't have to make any revisions. I can spend the rest of the month studying for a school exam (on instructional planning, design, and presentation) and the CSET for Social Studies (the content area exam for my CA teaching license). I just want to get all of that done. Do my pedagogical class in November. Take December off. And be back in the classroom at the beginning of January.
SO SOON!!! I won't be a full time SAHM. I'll actually be in charge of my own classes. I'm over 80% done with my Masters! Whoooweee!

The post that I just did below this one totally shows my mania right now. It's a bit long winded, to say the least. Bear with it. There is a point somewhere in the rant.
I'm now ready to refocus my mania on my weight loss. I can't wait to have time to workout 60 mins each night. The fall season of TV is back so I have something to entertain/distract me while on the elliptical.
Okay, I need to get away from this midnight bedtime. Nite nite!

I think I could do with a few "manic moments" like that. Just think how much I could get done, instead of procrastinating by finding other things to do...
