Life moves on, regardless if you move with it

So far, this semester has been one of the most challenging in my life. There have been quite a few unexpected circumstances that I have had to deal with that are things that I haven't encountered before. I've realized through this that the days keep going and you have to find a way to keep up with things and get tasks done, regardless of the circumstances that you may encounter. Sometimes, the last thing you want to do, or even have time to do, is sit down and work on the things you need to do so you can keep moving forward when it seems as though the world is trying to hold you back. Your mind just isn't there completely, and it makes it more difficult to focus and do a job well. Normally, I am pretty good with dealing with stress and balancing my various commitments and life, but this semester has started off very challenging and right off of the bat, I see this semester is testing my limits and teaching me some very valuable life lessons.
