one semester down!
whew! today I turned in my massive 48-page unit plan for my Art Methods class...and took my final exam for Content Area Reading...no class for 3 weeks is my present for all my hard work :)
I have to say, I wasn't sure I'd make it to this point...it's been a lot of work, and I definitely have felt the exhaustion directly related to it...but it's all good things on the way to getting my certification nailed down...and eventually a Master's degree :)
I unfortunately failed miserably at taking a victory nap today...but I did just lay down for an hour, so at least I gave myself some actual relaxation time.
so now it's just two weeks of school left before winter break.
and it's been one month since Brett has been home.
I need these holidays to get here more than ever this year!
even Eddie agrees...he's been hanging out with me, which NEVER happens...so we know he really misses that guy who lives here too...
happy weekend all!!

grad school coma
Saturday, 8:30am...first final project is turned in.
Saturday, 12 noon...final test taken.
by 3pm on Saturday I'll officially be two classes into my certification/masters program. but until then, I will be typing, reading, editing, retyping, and obsessing over my final unit plan that I have to turn in.
the cats are doing their best to help motivate me...
in case you were wondering, these are two different times...top one is Jack, bottom one is Kevin...
when I was in college, I think I might have pulled one all-nighter. I am not good at working late hours into the night. so here it is, 9:30, and I'm calling it a night.
but I'll be up by 7am, partly because I can't sleep in that much anymore, and partly because I'll be panicking that I haven't left myself enough time to finish my work...but...I have 6 of the 9 sections totally done, typed up, printed out, just ready to put into the page protectors in my binder.
so until 3pm on Saturday...I might be a little distracted...which means I might write a few more blog posts when I am procrastinating tomorrow...
I'll leave you with a cute penguin one of my 1st graders drew this week :) more art coming...we are doing lots of cute winter projects!!
