Where did my life go?

It has been just over 2 months since I've started the MAT program at Willamette.  It has completely taken over my life. . . it is my life.  It has been hard, stressful and I don't remember what free time feels like or even what free time is.  Then only reason it is worth it, is that next year I will be a teacher.  Next year I will not spend ten hours in class as a student. I won't have to write a work sample scrutinizing every decision and idea I have about teaching to the point that I don't know anything.  I hate not knowing!!!

I miss my life before Willamette.  I can't wait to say good-bye.  It will be a grateful good-bye (I am learning and becoming a teacher) but it will also be a happy and long awaited good-bye. 

I CAN"T WAIT!

I can't even imagine how you do it - it's like having a full time job on top of being a full time student. No way I could have done that in grad school! Hang on to your sanity for the kids' sake :)
