I'm doing 30 things
I have to jump in here after another long absence to say that I did it! I just got word Saturday that I passed an exam for a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from New Mexico State University. All I have to do is pass the final class I need, which I expect to complete in December. Hooray! Now, I’ll have to look over my other goals and see how I’m doing there. :-) Hmmm. Should I think of a doctorate??? (NMSU has one in early childhood education on line.)

It’s been forever since I checked in on 43 Things. I need to do so more often. It’s like checking in on what my goals really are, and visiting with old friends. Most days, I’m simply trying to check off minor items on a neverending To Do list. Hey, I’m about halfway to getting a Master’s Degree in early childhood education. Congratulations to me. I need to add goals about connecting with people. Mostly, I’m buried in work, and leave myself no time for fun.
I just completed an Issues in Early Childhood class, on-line, through NMSU (very good), and I finished one in the second summer term as well—the Bilingual Preschool Child.
So even though I didn’t get off to a quick start in the first Summer Term, I’m slowly making progress!
I guess I’ve been so busy at work (as a scholarship program director) and doing the courses’ homework I just haven’t been checking in with 43 Things! I’ll have to look in more often.
