...that's 7 classes!!! it's going to be a tough semester, but i'm excited that i will be able to finish and graduate this may! fortunately (or unfortunately actually) two of those classes are me finishing up my "incompletes" from the summer semester when i was in so much pain and couldn't sit at the computer for long periods of time to complete my coursework...so those two classes are already more than half-way finished. a third class is my "practicum" which is going to be me going to the school and shadowing the guidance counselors, checking in with my professor about it weekly, and then writing a paper when i've finished all of my hours of shadowing. (thankfully, i think i have someone to watch thad on tuesdays and thursdays so i can go in twice a week and get the hours finished quickly.) so basically, i'm taking 4 full classes. two of those are psych classes, and two are general studies electives that i had to take. i'm taking children's literature, which should be really fun, and women in leadership, which should be insightful because it deals with issues that pastor's wives (and other women in church leadership roles) deal with...i could've used this class years ago, it probably would've helped me cope with some stuff a lot better than i have through the 15+ years we've been married and in ministry together!
so here we go, a full semester ahead....wheeeeeeee!!!
