Finals!

Hello all. Two classes down and three to go!! I handed in my master's thesis about a week and a half ago!! It's all done and I absolutely love it. By the way, my master's thesis is titled Teachers and their Racial Identities: Theories and New Perspectives on Teacher Development. It's about 50 pages long. I am now waiting to hear back from my readers (who are anonymous) to see if I passed or failed. If I failed (which I really feel is unlikely, but I dunno) I think I have like 10 days to edit and resubmit it if I want to graduate in May. So I am crossing my fingers!! I would be surprised if I failed ya know, but we will see. I submitted my final paper for Psychology of the African American. It was eight pages and I did it at the last minute...I was up until six this morning and up at eight to finish it. I am so glad that its done but I am not happy that the course is over. I really really really enjoyed Professor Stevenson and the course. It's def. in my top three favorite courses. My final paper for my Gender and Education course and my independent study are joint papers-my friend (Melissa) and I are completing the papers together and we are hoping to be finished with them both my Wednesday and next Wednesday, respectively. They will be about 15-20 pages but since the work is split up there isn't really too too much that I have to do by myself. Collaboration is great, by the way! I would encourage everyone to work on papers and final projects collaboratively when the opportunity presents itself. My collaborative papers have been better thought out and its a great time saver! My Critical Race Theory paper is due next Monday. I negotiated with the professor to submit a condensed version of my master's thesis for the final project so the work for that paper is already done I just need to synthesize and shorten my sections a bit.

So, that's it. I'll be done with everything by next Wednesday. I have decided not to participate in the graduation ceremonies only because I am anxious to get home and celebrate the completion of my degree with all my family and friends. Oh...my birthday is Monday, MAY 4!! Yay for 24!
