I am so overwhelmed!

On a quick break here I thought I'd finally post something here. I haven't been home for 2 weeks now. Andy, I, Bryan, & Faith all rode down together to my sister's in North Carolina. We spent a lovely fun few days together. I was able to also visit with my Aunt & Uncle who met us there from the Carolinas also. Saturday after breakfast a crew of us went up to shoot. We had a great time and I hit the target on my third shot. Not bad! I hit many targets this day. After lunch everyone depart. The 3 that came with me rode back home with my parents. I stayed with the Hyltons over the New Year. We played games through the new year and I got some sleep. I crammed in more work that had to be completed before my class which started Tuesday morning at 8:30am. Right around 3:30pm I departed from my sisters and headed to Liberty University. Thankfully I made it and found where I'm staying alright.
The first class: Tuesday - Saturday 8:30am-5pm
We did intense counseling sessions. In groups of 3 we took turns being (1) the counselor (2) the client (3) the observer. We practiced with the same person and the same topics that we wanted to work on. Sometimes we wouldn't get done with our practice sessions until 9:30 at night. Then after that we would have homework to do. I'd be up until midnight and sometimes up to work before class. It is the most emotionally and physically drained that I have ever been in my entire life. My body was sore all over and I knew I was on the edge of getting sick. We made great friends and colleagues. We all went out to dinner together even with the professor one evening along with eating together in smaller groups throughout the week. Saturday night I started preparing for the next week's class. All day Sunday I worked on the workbook for this class. Right now I'm in another intensive class from Monday - Friday again. My head is spinning and actually I was 2 1/2 hours late my first morning of class this week because my sickness did come. I think I have pink eye along with a cold. Ewwww. There is no way that I'm going to not go to my class now. I'm all the way here in Virginia so I need to push through.
I also found a buddy who will ride home with me who lives only 25 minutes from my house. Supposedly we're going to get out at noon on Friday so maybe we'll drive then. Hopefully I won't still be exhausted. It seems as if I will have the evenings free this week in contrast to last week. Wow!
Oh, and also last week I finally agreed to go back and work at National City Bank (but a new branch).
What a life changing experience it has been so far. Please pray for me as I am approaching the end of the two weeks that I'll be rested, get healthy, and be able to stay focused!
