Spring Break 2011

Well, spring break is finally here, but it won't be much of a break for me! This is a self-imposed work week, but I have decided I want to finish all three of my online master's classes for this semester in this next week. I also want to get the majority of the lesson plans for the next few weeks completed, because I want to be able to do other things on the weekends for the rest of the school year, like play on the lake! I also need (NEED) to get out of Del Rio and do some serious baby shopping...I haven't left this town since November!! (Did I mention that my house is also a disaster?? No child should live here right now...) I have several trips, days off, and fun activities planned, but all of them are happening in April, May, and June! So I figured I would sacrifice spring break in order to have weekends free for the rest of the school year.

So, I wanted to put it in writing and make it official: lots of work over spring break, lots of free weekends later. (Keep me honest, family!! Help me keep the motivation all week, and then make sure I take that time off later!) I'm already finished with one of my classes (History of Math), and I have finished half of both of the other classes. For my Pre-Calculus refresher class, I have two essays, four quizzes, and a final left to do. For the Reading class, I have 14 chapters and 6 articles of reading to complete, a major paper, a couple of discussion board posts, and a major presentation/powerpoint to complete...this one will be a challenge. For the lesson plans for my high school classes, I have already finished Geometry and Pre-Cal up through the week after spring break (yay!!), so I will be working on the next few weeks after that.

I'm motivated. I'm anxious to finish this master's degree and the rest of the school year.

Bring it on. :-)
