I can't believe I finally took the step, I started my master's degree in Education Administration officially today! I read the syllabus last night and my first reaction of course was OMG, what did I do? My principal who is always amazing and encouraging of course told me that I have support built right in and I will find the coursework more manageable than I think. My husband reminded me of how terrified I felt my freshman year of undergrad but by the end, even as classes were harder, I was able to manage so much better.
I think my big whoa right now is my load. I realized that I filled myself up pretty much to brimming at least for this semester and this school year. At a glance it looks like this:
NJHS advisor- breast cancer awareness week, fall festival and fright night, induction ceremony, and fundraising to go to Chicago (february)
New intern just started today and with my till December
Full time teacher of course- subjects: 3-8 gifted science and 1-4 technology
ELD paperwork extraordinaire (in all my extra time)
Serving on weekend 19 of Tres Dias in the most challenging position to date
Full time masters degree in administration
Planning to possibly work on starting a family this winter
Mentor for high school student- which I love doing!!!
Of course there is that little thing of spending time with my husband, cleaning my house, grocery shopping, cooking meals, etc etc etc.
And I want to try to maintain my friendships so they don't all think I don't care (please be gracious with me)
I just keep remembering that God said his burden is easy and his yolk is light.
