A Master

Yesterday afternoon I made it through my oral exams with flying colors, completing the last requirement for my Masters degree! It's nice to see that all of my hard work these past years have finally paid off. I need to send two more forms to the State, and then I will soon be a Licensed School Counselor. Now all that's left is to secure a job for the Fall - been applying the last few months, and will continue to do so over the Summer.

Almost Done


My thesis is being reviewed one final time, for any last minute edits; my electronic portfolio is complete; my oral exams are being scheduled; the license application process has begun; and I am continuing to apply for jobs. I am nearing the finish line!

Chili

Look Mom, Chuck made chili! After an ichat conversation with my friend Kelly, she motivated me to give a try at making chili for dinner tonight. So after a quick stop by the grocery store for supplies, I took that step. Actually, it was rather easy, and ended up being pretty tasty too!

Relaxing Friday

I received some final edits to my thesis yesterday from my Reader, but I decided this morning that today was going to be a day to just relax instead. After having my weekly adjustment at Jeff and Katie's, I went for a walk around Normandale Lake. I then headed off to St. Paul for lunch at D'Amico's, and to enjoy a fine cigar on Stogies' patio. Now I think I will grab my ipod and a book and head outside to sit in my adirondack to enjoy the rest of this warm and sunny afternoon, before the cool rain moves in for the weekend. Happy Friday all!
