And Here We Sit...

I'm done! Yes. Two months (almost) now, that I have been done with my Master's program. It's almost as if I have this weird postpartum thing going on. Not that I would know what that is all about since not one kid actually came out of ME... however, it is kind of like a depression of sorts to not have that structure and focus that I had for the last 16 months.

Now I have this anxious feeling that I'm forgetting something and I can't seem to start projects that need to be done around here (OMG THE OFFICE). I feel like I learned so much and I am applying it in my classroom. (I wonder if many people can actually say that they are applying what they learned in their master's program.) Do I want to get a doctorate? HELL NO. I am done with school. I am happy teaching my fifth graders and will be happy doing that until I am old and gray. I don't need that Ph.D. after my name. I don't want to teach college. I don't even like getting up in front of the staff I work with at my school!

So, yeah. I'm done. But trying to find a focus. Hopefully my brain will slow down enough to actually celebrate with Teenie (tattoos and Mexico).
