The Home Stretch...

well, with just about 2-weeks remaining in the Fall 2007 semester...it is now "crunchtime"! with a historiographic essay to be written on ben franlin, a unit plan, a few minor revisions, one final online exam, and a few more of these posts on blogspot...i can almost see that "light at the end of the tunnel"...and boy, i am excited.

i can't recall any other time in my academic life that i have needed and looked forward to a break as much as i currently am. by far my most demanding graduate semester, mixed in with some major life changes, a move which took me from Clifton Park to Watervliet (yeah right, what was i thinking?)...well, i really don't recall much of anything this semster. it has simply flown by at the blink of an eye.

with over a handful of these posts remaining and limited time to complete them in, i am dedicating myself to write a brief post each day until i have reached the required 15 in total...and thus will have completed yet another assignment this semester.

for now, i am looking onward to brainstorming and eventually conceptualizing my thematic unit plan due in just a few days! here is a persoanl thought. something i am most definitely looking forward to over the break in between Fall and the start of the Spring semester (1/22/08)...is to do some FREE READING! a good book, nothing historical, and maybe even something fictional, who knows...??? i have had both Teacher Man and The Kite Runner sitting on my book shelf since mid-summer...maybe either one of those will do. YES, i simply cannot wait!

till tomorrow
