Whew...

Just enough time to do a QUICK post! Thank goodness this little one slept good last night because this mama needed some uninterrupted sleep. I don't think I moved all night! Whew, I started my Masters class this week and to say that I have been over-whelmed and stressed is an understatement.



Here's just what I have to do in Week 1:



  • Read five articles that are all a minimum of 10-15 pages, except one that is like 143 pages

  • Do a progress monitor (quiz) over the articles

  • Watch 5 videos

  • Video progress monitor (quiz)

  • Begin a discussion topic (and find an article related to topic and cite a quote from it)

  • Respond to 2 other people's discussion

  • Assignment: Analyze behavior referrals for 3 consecutive years in 3 graphs, interview my administer, print a school's behavioral referrals (including incidents, ethnicity, etc) for 3 years, and analyze it and write a paper over all of it

  • Week 1 Quiz

If you were here at this point, you would hear me...."AAAAAHHHHH"! I know I'm probably just stressing because it's the first week and the unknown, but it's still overwhelming. My mom event put me on the prayer list, bless her! I've already said, "Once I get my masters, I ain't never going back to school!" And yes, I realize "ain't" is not grammatically correct, but I don't give a hoot right now! :)

Oh my goodness, Lana! You are a brave soul. But I know you can do it! The beginning is always overwhelming. Once you get going in the swing, it won't be so bad! You should be so proud of yourself for doing that!!

I would be screaming too, Lana. That is going to be very challenging for you! But you will be so glad you did it when you get that first raise! Plus just the satisfaction of achieving a goal. Good luck!!!
