Best of luck!!! I’m sure you’ll do well 😀

Thanks, Star. It’s just a lot of work in a short time… along with teaching (daily lesson plans, grading papers) and taking my class and doing homework in Old English (learning to translate). *sigh* I haven’t had a stress-free semester outside of school either. My husband got Bell’s Palsy, my friend Jenn died, my 78-year-old mother has been falling down lately and I’m worried for her, and I have conventions to arrange — and “trying to pay the bills with a dwindling income” stress… it just seems like a lot sometimes. It’s no wonder I’ve been forgetting things like getting tables at conventions and renting hotel rooms… 😆 That’s what I mean when I say that grad school has made me dumb! 😆

That’s a lot to juggle!!!!! Hang in there!!! You can do it!!! It’ll be worth all the effort in the end 😀

Stress in general will cause lack of focus and forgetfulness. Hang in there, I’m sure you can do it!

I love jigsaw puzzles! No time though. Maybe after I graduate in May. *crosses fingers for graduating in May*

Out of idle curiosity, what’s your major? Is this for a BA or Masters?

I am getting a Master of Arts in English with a teaching college writing emphasis. I hope to get a job at a community college, tech school, or private college (I only need a master’s degree for those), or at a publishing company — I have experience in this too. I am trying to finish up my master’s thesis before April 13th. I have two chapters left to write, and probably some editing too, before then. My thesis defense is on April 19th, so then I’ll know if I’m graduating or not. 😕
Good luck getting your thesis in. My sister finally submitted her after a year. She finally might get a Master degree. hehe
