I'm free at last!
I've been taking some classes online through University of Phoenix, trying to get my Master's in Education. It's been wondeful (with some ups and downs), but it is time for a break. I've been taking classes constantly since the end of October, with two weeks off for Christmas. These last few classes, right as I'm finishing huge projects, I don't even get a single day off to sigh with relief. I just get thrown right in to my next class.
This last class felt especially like I'd been rushed into it. Life has been getting busier and busier with all the things I've been doing... or supposed to have been doing. My sister's getting married in May and I have a bunch of responsibilities for that:
I'm matron of honor, so I should be buying a dress to match the other bridesmaid's. But it's not like I've had time for shopping.
I'm supposed to make the skirt for Sarah's wedding dress.... not done.
I have a bunch of other projects I'm working on.
I'm making Kevin's dad a shirt for his birthday... in February.
Now that the weather's warm I need to work out in the yard to make my yard beautiful and plant a vegetable garden.
And none of this was happening when all I did after work was come home and stress about my classes.
As I was turning in my final assignment this afternoon, I actually had butterflies in my stomach I was so excited to be finished. You might hear from me more often on my blog now that I'll actually have some down time.
And I plan on actually writing my book that I've started. I've been looking up tips online on how to write novels. I need to put more conflict into my stories. There should be tension, and my readers need to be interested in how things turn out.
Presently, this is not the case. :)

You sound like a busy girl! I'm glad you're taking a break from classes (oh, I remember what a GREAT feeling it is to be newly free from studies and all the stress that comes with it!) and can have some time to get caught up on some of your goals!
It IS such a great feeling to turn in the last assignments of the semester. I'm glad you have some more time now to get everything done. They sound like some fun tasks: dress shopping, gardening, etc...:) I hope the weather is beautiful for you guys in Provo! Congratulations on being done the classes!
"done with the classes:)!"
I didn't know you were such a seamstress. I've tried my hand at sewing and experienced nothing but complete frustration. I blame it all on the machine at this point and would like to try my hand at it again someday.
It is such a wonderful feeling of freedom whenever I finished a semester of classes. That's great you've got so much time to focus on other things now.
