Am I Taking On Too Much Right Now?

I am still drawing a weekly paycheck for a few more weeks, at least. I am now thinking about going back to school to become a Paralegal. I will have to talk to a school counselor to see what would be my best course of study (either a 2-yr community college, or transfer to a 4-yr college). At my age (49), it will take me a long time to complete.
PCC has a summer class going on right now. It started last Monday (I found out late), so I don't know if I can still get in to the class now, or not. I may have to do it this Fall. I am hoping to take advantage of the student services they offer. Perhaps I can get some real help from counseling (for the domestic abuse at home).
I continue to push ahead for job ideas at this time. I took a written test last week for the position of Office Assistant with the La Puente school district. I'm waiting for the result of that test, plus there will be one more hurdle to cross: an Oral Exam around the 30th! I'm planning to attend a Job Fair in Baldwin Park on Tuesday. I'll pass out my resume to various company reps in attendance. Something positive just has to happen for me soon! I'm not giving up, but I sure do get mighty discouraged at times!
I felt so depressed today. Ron did nothing but emotionally belittle me and my family all day long. I talked to my dad tonight and he told me not to let Ron "ruin my life". That is exactly what he's been doing all of these years already!
Am I trying to do too much right now? I feel that I need to have these things to look forward to, to keep my mind off of my miserable personal life.
