Picked up cap and gown today.

Finished portofolio check!

Passed comprehensive exams with flying colors!!

So 2 hours of sleep is apparently not enough for me. I should know because Justin and I got that much last night due to taking FOREVER on our grad school portfolio. In recent quarters, this process has taken 7-8 hours, but we spent about 12 hours on it this quarter (at least!). Today we show it to our professor to get it checked off, and tomorrow we present a book talk and our plans on assessment.

 The one thing I am thankful for with these projects is that they are not cognitively DIFFICULT. I would be tearing my hair out if I had to actually THINK too deeply about data collection or theorems or some other rubbish at 3 a.m. Now all I am thinking about is sleeping….

Left to do for grad school:

finish narrative literature review

finish annotated bibliography

pick up caps and gowns

pay library fine ($3)

finish action research project

The hardest part is over!!
