It's an exciting prospect to know that I am almost finished with my first course as a grad student. Whew! One more paper, which I'm working on, and I'm done. Luckily, we do have a few days' extension because of the storm, but I'm hoping to get it finished asap. Still, it has been a wonderful class and I have enjoyed myself, despite my frustrations with technology.
So far, my only complaint with the online course is that I wish we had more time to explore more of the theories we've been studying. Theory is a hard class, but I have learned a great deal about them. And I have found many of the them that relate to me. Interesting! I have also really appreciated the group work that we've done. I have never been a huge fan of group work, but I lucked out with the group I'm in. We've worked well together and I look forward to working with each of them in the future.
I'm going to be very interested to see how the 2nd half of the semester goes. I will be in two classes then, so let's hope it doesn't kill me. But, one of the great things about this program and degree tract is that I can slow down if I feel the need to. I have five years to finish once I start. I don't anticipate it taking five years, thought. I am hoping that I will be able to remain full time and finish next December or so. Still, it's nice to have that option if I need it.
So, as long as I don't completely screw up this paper, I should be in pretty good standing. Thank you to all who have encouraged me through this process and helped me when I needed it. I really appreciate that! Now, it's time to have some lunch and get back to writing my paper.
That is all.
