Ow! That's really painful.

Yikes, JaH, I hope you're feeling better.

Arky and iiibbb, be forewarned...this could be you!

I just sent off my final paper for my Masters' classes and a bigger pile of crap I've never written in my life. I hope to god neither of my professors actually reads the thing.

But it is done and I am finished until I take my orals in January.

I'm both immensely relieved and horribly ashamed at this moment.

26642. Ms. No - 12/13/2011 6:31:53 AM

BTW, it's not a thesis, it's just a paper combining information learned and researched for two classes - one on Education Law and one on Urban Education.

26643. arkymalarky - 12/13/2011 6:34:49 AM

Congrats on getting done! I'm so glad to be past all that. I love school but not with an overloaded work schedule. I don't know how you've stayed sane.

26644. arkymalarky - 12/13/2011 6:36:45 AM

And education programs are getting worse every year. It's depressing what's happening to the system.

26645. Ms. No - 12/13/2011 6:47:16 AM

I very nearly haven't --- stayed sane, that is. I had to take a week of release time because I was having panic attacks in my sleep.

Of course I was at school every day working on curriculum and lesson planning, but just to not have to be with the Freshmen for a week, and then following with a week off at Thanksgiving, kept me from literally walking off the job.

26646. arkymalarky - 12/13/2011 7:18:36 AM

I hope next semester is better. I feel for you with your schedule and situation.

26647. arkymalarky - 12/13/2011 7:19:43 AM

If I can help in any way or if you ever want to talk, holler at me.

26648. vonKreedon - 12/13/2011 5:21:04 PM

Hey Cos - Congrats and way to hang in there. We need passionate, creative, dedicated teachers more than we need anything else. Thanks for you and Arky being there.

26649. arkymalarky - 12/13/2011 7:57:36 PM

The system is driving them out, unfortunately, VK.

26650. iiibbb - 12/13/2011 8:34:49 PM

Congrats Ms No good luck.

Another game suggestion for iphone or droid: quell. A solo casual game. I LOVE it.

"I hope to god neither of my professors actually reads the thing. "

It is no wonder our MA-Education system, at all levels, is such a disaster. Straight A's and degrees for all, knowledge and performance be damned.

26653. iiibbb - 12/16/2011 4:34:43 PM

The main source of mistakes in my dissertation were caused by a complete reformatting demanded by my committee the day of my defense and a week to get all materials to the graduate school.

26654. iiibbb - 12/17/2011 4:00:31 AM

Bless my MiL's heart...

My wife bought B a book about X-mas and Chanukah called "my two holidays". Her mom said it made her want to vomit. My wife even let's fly with a few anti-Christian sentiments every so often. Mostly because talking about religion offends their sensibilities.

I've never said a peep about my Christian background to them and only support my son being Jewish. They are oblivious to the comments they occasionally make stinging a bit.

Ah well.
