about to hit the third week of classes. It seems manageable, although I am reading my eyes out! Out of my cohort of 15, 3 of us have bonded and are working in a group together so thats fun. The one thing that will take some getting used to is reading (a lot) and analytical thinking again. Since I took 3 years off in between this degree and undergrad, my brain doesn't think like it used to anymore!

I have felt a bit "off" as well. I think its partly due to stressing over the newness of everything... I took 3 years off from undergrad so my mind is not used to reading and writing and studying. I'm also in a new area so allergies are still a little off, but breathing is a bit easier each day so that's resolving itself. I know I am not eating as well as I used to when I just worked, so taking the weekends to cook several meals and section them off and eat my own "tv dinners" has helped get my GI back together. Lastly (even though I can't attest that I have completely done this yet) remember to work out! I'm used to being active and so being sedentary for hours a week is really taking a toll on me. I don't feel as energetic as I usually do, still need to get my schedule figured out when to work out and avoid all the undergrads!
