And then there were nine…nine weeks of EPI left, that is.
With all of my assignments completed, I enjoyed a week off.
It was nice to feel human again.
It was nice to not have to force my brain to operate at a level worthy of a aerodynamic engineer or some high-falootin’ thinking position like that.
In other words, I completely vegged out.
Until Thursday.
I had been keeping up with my Angel (online classroom) account…checking for feedback on the assignments I had completed, when I read someone’s posting about making a 77% on her collaborative lesson plan.
Huh? How’d she know what she made?
I quickly went hunting.
The instructor had been hard at work the afternoon before, and I had somehow missed her update.
I cautiously ventured over to see what I had made.
An 84.
I was not thrilled.
I like my A’s.
I read the feedback, drew blanks (my mind was in a vegetative state, if you remember), tried to call my friend, Jane, who completed the EPI program last year, and then went into resubmit mode.
In other words, I completely ignored my family again.
I made revisions and resubmitted.
I’m still awaiting feedback. This instructor allows students one chance to fix mistakes.
Thank goodness. It’s better than not getting a second chance at all.
And that, in a nutshell, was my week.
I have one more week until this term is over. New classes begin on Saturday.
Oh.
Joy.
On the downside, it’s going to be one of the most difficult terms I’ve had thus far.
On the upside, it’s going to be my final term.
Silver linings, people.
One other silver lining?
I have five days left of vegging out.
If you need me, you’ll find me on the couch, in front of the TV, watching mindless shows.
No, not really.
I’m trying to finish reading the book Dracula.
I’m also considering starting a new knitting project.
Details to come…
Nine weeks from now.
LOL
