Done...err, almost

The good news for you is that this is probably the last whiney "I have too much work to do" post you'll get from me for at least a month. Today was my last class, and I handed in all of my final papers/projects today and yesterday.

I feel SO relieved, except I'm not totally on vacation yet. Saturday I have to take my fourth (and final) licensure test...I'm all set with my tests for elementary ed., but this one's for my reading specialist license. But THEN, (assuming it doesn't go horribly wrong and I run out of there screaming that I'll never be allowed to teach), I will be on vacation for a little over a month before I begin my final 7 weeks of my master's degree!!! I'm very excited.


One more of these bad boys and then I'm done for good

I haven't really been looking forward to my upcoming birthday next week mostly because birthdays lately don't seem to be very fun once everyone's in the working world, and is busy, or tired from work, or doesn't live nearby, or is in Sweden or is otherwise occupied. Plus, it's the last birthday before I turn 25, which is a scary thought. But last night when I couldn't sleep I came up with an even better reason to skip my birthday this year. While I've been 23 I could still tell myself I'm in my early 20s...which I think sounds young & fun. But once I'm 24, I really can't fool myself anymore. I'm going to have to admit that I'm in my mid-20s.

I know, I know, you're thinking I'm crazy. But this is what keeps me up at night, so just hang on and I'll try for a better post in another day or so.
