Thesis done, More school?? Probably not...

Aaron has finished writing his Master's thesis!!!! He just has some minor revisions and then it is done. We aren't sure if he'll be able to defend it this semester, but we hope so. If he can't, we'll have to pay for another semester and we have other places for that money to go.

This semester has been so stressful that we are really glad that he is done writing, even if it does stretch into next year! It has already gotten easier.

I think we are done with degrees for a while! We really need a break. Aaron doesn't want another, anymore and if I go back for more, it won't be until all of our kids are in school.

We both love to learn, so we'll probably take some classes at the applied technology college. There are lots of vocational things that we'd like to know how to do. Those are a lot less stress and commitment, so I think we can handle it.

It has been about a year and a half since I've taken a class. I haven't missed it. I guess since I graduated, the "finished" feeling is still here. Thinking of taking a lot of classes again, with kids, keeps the feelings of wanting to go back at bay!

I do wish I'd kept myself up on a lot more of the things I knew. It is so easy for me to forget. I need to read my horticulture books more often. I pretty much take them out if I need something.

That should be a goal for me. To read and remember the things I learned during my time at school. It is fun for me, so I should do it more often!

It is embarrassing, when people find out that I have a degree in horticulture, and then I can't remember the answers to their questions. I can usually find it, though.
