I'm currently juggling coursework for two online poetry classes I've signed up for and I'm thinking I may have bitten off more than I can chew! I feel like I'm back at Uni again only this time with the added responsibilities of work, children and running a house.

One of the classes is in real time with a teacher and the other is an on demand video class. The online class has assignments that are graded which is freaking me out a little as I want to do well but have no idea if I'm any good. It's been such a long time since I've had to submit assignments for assessment.

One of the good things I am discovering about doing two classes at once in this way is that each is helping me to do the other. I'll learn something in one class that I can draw on or use to write my poetry for the other class.

See, there's a silver lining to everything!
