OK...take a deep breath...

Comment Myspace Sexy
I am taking this moment to remember exactly why I went back to school. See with one final down and two tonight and my research paper on "Hypothyroidism and Cognitive Impairment" due on Monday, I AM A LITTLE STRESSED! So, here goes:
1) It allowed us to come back to San Diego
2) It gives me the educational leadership designator for the Navy
3) I will probably make Lieutenant Commander when I am eligible
4) It allowed me to take the Pensacola orders so that my family could come home for good.
5) I will have a masters degree
6) I am a positive role model for my children - especially because they are girls
7) It will allow me to work in the community college educational field when I retire
8) It is one step closer to a doctorate degree
9) It allows me to explore major concepts and theories
10) It was the best decision for my family

You are truly an exceptional person, and a role model, not just for young girls. Everyone comes to a point where the evaluate where they are, and where they feel they should be. The exceptional people manage to bridge that gap. I would say you have successfully done so.

Congratulations. Take your deep breath, and don't stop. You're almost there!

I know...I am almost done. But, this is so much harder this time around. It's that whole 40 thing, I'm sure!

yeah; that might be it; but you're only as old as you feel...do you feel 40? keep going back to the list to remind yourself, whenever it gets to be too much, why you are doing this; and i think it'll make it so much more worth it in the end.
