The Final Push!

In my last class, an ethics class. I was really looking forward to going out on an high because I love the conversation that ethical dilemma's generate and writing papers on the subject may be quasi enjoyable. But there is only one problem, the professor is a Nazi, and I mean that in the full sense of the word. And I am really disappointed it is robbing me the enjoyment of my final class of graduate school! (lets hope she does not read my blog otherwise I am toast!) Apparently my academic writing is below par becuase I write in passive voice - 2 and 1/2 years into grad school and its the first I heard of it. Apparently if I only write 280 words to a discussion question instead of the required 300 (who knew this was news to me) I will get a C that week instead of an A!!! For a highly functioning overachieving adult getting a C (the first ever in grad school) was very humbling and lost me sleep for at least a night. But I have regained my composure and I soldier on and apparently this week I am doing better so I may just squeak by! The G (graduation) date is November 30th, I am soooo excited I can hardly bare it, to be done, to be finished, to have finally achieved something I have been chasing for many many years. What will I do next..... who knows watch this space. This excitement of finishing grad school is only overtaken by the knowledge that all 3 kids will be home for Thanksgiving week. Gosh, I have missed them sooo much, I can hardly stand it. TO have them all here will be such a treat. This weekend we are off to Boston to look at Universities for Elliot, I can hardly believe we are at that point with him already, get the kleenex ready, there will be many many tears!
