The Last Semester
As I sit in class and listen to Dr. Warrick talk about all of the things that we need to do this semester I can't help but wonder how is it all going to get done. It seems like there is a lot of material to cover and work to do without much time. I know it will get done (it always does) but for some reason this time it seems like a lot more. I think part of it is the time of year. Right now there are a lot of things going on and wrapping up and this just gets added to it. I have really enjoyed this cohort but am looking for the pressure and stress of the work and deadlines to get done, to be gone. I always add more of that to myself. I don't like to get behind and when things are due I like to have them in early. Because of this, there are many times I feel guilty when I am not doing some sort of work. In the back of my mind I can hear the voice telling me, "You really should be writing a reflection", or "Why aren't you doing the next module for the on-line course?" I can't wait to put that voice to bed!!!!! I really am looking forward to getting this last semester rolling.

Pete...I hear that voice too. We will have to imagine it in about six weeks. Hope you enjoyed graduation today.
hmmm. . . it's interesting how Americans put so much time pressure on themselves. Really, I've been in places where people really don't have that. Sure, it was frustrating when everything happened late or not at all. But you know what? Once I learned that that was how things are, I was a lot happier, and I realized that those people were a lot happier than Americans in general. They didn't have roads or telephones, but they sure seemed a lot happier in general.
