I have just finished another one of Master's courses. Thia one was on critical issues in education. I think the discussion boards were really interesting on this one. Glad to be finished again. I was carrying a 98 into the last week of classes so I am hopeful of maintaining my grade point average at 4.0. I am not bragging; just stating the facts.:)
As I work to complete my master's in the next couple of years I find myself questioning more and more why I am putting myself through all this stress. I feel I am more like Dad than I thought. He was always doing something. He always had a project to work on. He could hardly ever sit still for a day and relax. I smile when I think that I have something in common with him. It makes me realize that I am truly his son. unfortunately I am like him in the way that probably was his undoing. Too much stress could not have been good for him. Maybe I need to pull back somewhere.
Summer is a very busy time here. I will be teaching about 45 hours a week (that doesn't include prep time) for about 5 weeks. I am worried it may be too much. Pray for me as I try to deal with it. Pray for Leanne as she tries to deal with me.
I found out Wally, Sherrie and Mom will be coming out in January. We are really looking forward to them coming for a visit. We will try to take them to Taipei, Taroko Gorge and Kenting. I seem to be looking forward hoping to take my mind off the next five weeks. Here's to hoping and anticipation.
Here are a few more pictures from our last vacation to Canada.
Enjoy
