Healthy Me

I have stressed myself into irritating my TMJ with my jaw this week.  How irritating to be irritated and then in pain on top of it because I was irritated.  Round and round we go...

My husband wanted his daughter to live here for her high school senior year because we have a program here that she could actually attend college, in place of high school, her senior year and take care of many of her core class requirements towards her college degree - for free, while in high school.  She doesn't want to leave her current school because of band camp and wanting to become squad leader.  My irritation is because band camp is NOT the most important thing in the world to her future and college plays a pretty big role in terms of her own long-term goals (graduate school).

She is going to retake her ACT test (which she could do either way), try to be squad leader and go to band camp versus getting a FREE head-start on college.  I don't understand turning this type of opportunity down at all.  I'd give anything to have an opportunity for a free year of college.  I'd love to go on and get my degree and then further by gmat prep to advance my studies.

I realize in high school, you really don't think beyond that day, that week, that month but FREE college classes?  This is SO important because neither her mother or father have money for her college tuition and this would be such a big help. 

So, I've been disappointed and upset, which means I've been clenching my jaw unknowingly.  I don't realize it until my TMJ starts to hurt.  If somebody handed me a free year of college, I'd grab it in a second!
