But I still have my final design project looming and one more paper for my history class and then that final. But I can't wait for December 1 because it will all be over until my next class starts in January...and then it's celebrating for me! The December holiday madness will seem like nothing once my classes are all over!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016246444448339816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938779422400020814.post-9271723664249361542010-11-09T22:26:02.752-05:002010-11-09T22:26:02.752-05:00Cindy, I am impressed with your hard work.

I just wanted to confirm that tears and whining are acceptable. Keep smiling. annannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938779422400020814.post-32878730901499148702010-11-09T10:11:02.699-05:002010-11-09T10:11:02.699-05:00Thank you Ann for your encouragement!

I am so impressed that you got your Master's and followed your dream.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016246444448339816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938779422400020814.post-74753424707642586012010-11-08T22:36:08.084-05:002010-11-08T22:36:08.084-05:00Your very hard work will pay off in the long run. ...Your very hard work will pay off in the long run. I was nearly 40 when I returned to school to work on my Master's in English. It was just so hard. I loved the literature and the research and the writing, but it was just so hard. I cried--a lot. It took me five years to finally graduate. I did the course work in 2 years, but studying for the comprehensive exams took time. I needed cataract surgery, my dad had bi-pass surgery, but I knew that I had to pass the exams, and I finally did. Seventeen years later I have the best job in the world, teaching college freshmen--18 year olds just starting their adult life. So your hard work will pay off and you will have a very exciting, fulfilling career doing what you love. Have faith in yourself and keep up the good work. annannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938779422400020814.post-30924591996671008662010-11-08T12:05:22.283-05:002010-11-08T12:05:22.283-05:00I completely understand too, I just finished my Ma...I completely understand too, I just finished my Masters degree this summer. It took me four years and it was life consuming! I have a long list of things that I've put off over the last four years that I'm starting to work on now that the gardening season is done here. Good for you!!<br /><br />Just checking out the other newbies on Blotanical, I'm new there too.<br />AmyAmy Andrychowiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834295402269490621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938779422400020814.post-41291771050303139502010-11-08T06:31:04.346-05:002010-11-08T06:31:04.346-05:00Thanks for the encouragement, Kate!

I'm hoping my final project won't take twice that time :). Good for you that you got your hort degree. Maybe we can get together sometime and talk plants!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016246444448339816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938779422400020814.post-42961782024523024502010-11-07T14:21:53.979-05:002010-11-07T14:21:53.979-05:00Good for you for taking classes!
