School+Work+Wedding=???

At the same time I will be getting married, I will also be working full time, as well as attending graduate school, which requires many hours of intership. Is anyone else in this predicament? I always put myself in the most sensible of situations (massive sarcasm).

- Insanity!

i do have some idea what you are going thru- FH is working full time, going to school at night, and is trying to keep up his end of the housework AND wedding planning.

I know exactly what you're going through! Between working full time, planing a wedding & trying to earn a Masters in Social Work with 12 hrs. of internship on top of 2 nights of class...i'm tapped out of energy!

Re: School+Work+Wedding=???

I'm right there with you!!

I used to work one full time job and one part-time, but i've eliminated the part time because wedding stuff is taking too much time.

I'm also doing my masters and should be done by may (the same month as our wedding!!!)

Doing my thesis + wedding planning + work =

Re: School+Work+Wedding=???

good luck!! you have more than a year and you should be able to plan during the breaks of school, you will have to work double time over the summer and holidays!!! it will all work out and if you can't do everything ask your bridesmaids to help....i am sure they will want to do something to help you out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: School+Work+Wedding=???

I'm in school full time - in Virginia so I know how crazy it is - especially since most planning has to be squeezed in on weekends and short breaks...

You can do it though :) Just keep all your lists up to date and make a schedule and I think you'll be fine.

Good luck!

Where are you going to school? Where is anyone else going to school? I'm at Post for my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I guess I'll just hope that I work best under pressure.

Re: School+Work+Wedding=???

I completely understand. I just went back to work and I haven't even had time to check the boards let along plan wedding stuff. It is going to be hard to balance being a bride and a teacher.

Re: School+Work+Wedding=???

I just got married in August I was working full time attending graduate school full time and planning my wedding. It was very hard at first I use my hour lunch to study and do school work and took days off from work. Be very careful make sure the wedding won't affect your grades. Towards the end I had to take one class over my professor gave me incomplete. That okay I had him before and he know my work, so I tried to bull **** him.

Re: School+Work+Wedding=???

I am doing it too. I work full time and go part time for my MBA in Finance at Hofstra. Luckily so far I am taking care of the majority of the wedding plans when I don't have school. I have to go back this week. The one good thing about having the full schedule is that it makes time go by a lot faster...The wedding will be here before we know it...
