it's finished

FINALLY. All semester I've been working as part of a group of four to design a social studies curriculum for first and second grade. At the beginning of the semester, I agreed to coordinate and edit and format and compile every one's work. I had no idea at the time what a big job that would turn out to be! Today I printed the curriculum. It took an entire color printer cartridge and over an hour just to print (not to mention the two solid days - 9 am to 10 pm - I spent writing and editing this weekend, plus all the other time over the course of the semester). It's 368 pages!!! And it looks fantastic, if I do say so myself. Now, I have to get back to work on my Master's Thesis - Action Research Project. The final version of that is due next Tuesday, and, right now, the thesis is 120 pages long. I've never written so much in my life! And, in addition to all the school work I have to do, I have to (and get to) spend time with Brian, who's here from today through Friday, and Heidi, Katie, and Mrs. Hintze, who are here from Thursday through next Monday. I don't think I'll have time to breathe until the semester is over!
