So my program here at Full Sail is wrapping up. I want to write "finally," but a part of me is going "has it been a year already?" So writing "finally" doesn't seem right. I am partially hugely relieved, and a tiny bit nervous about the last few parts and pieces of the whole shebang.
Therese- I know exactly what you mean. It is hard to say finally. Not that this experience has been bad my any means but that we did it! Yes, there were times when I didn't think I would pull through but the many friends I have made in this program helped me when I hit those rough patches. Continue doing what you are doing... I have enjoyed watching your project unfold and working with you!
I am relieved for many reasons; to be done with my Master's and with the largest portion of my schooling. I view whatever classes I take from here on out as fun and easy classes to add to my art teacher base of knowledge. I look forward to these (while still highly challenging) "fun" classes. I also look forward quite a bit to having more free time. Time to get back to more regimented workout sessions. (I don't know about anyone else, but I put on a few pounds during this program, due to finding no available time to work out!) I am excited to spend time with my husband again. I look forward to work on projects on our new house that I haven't had time to do. I also look forward to camping trips this summer, and more time to spend with family.
It's a sacrifice going to school. It takes a lot of time and dedication (and we won't even talk money)! It is not an easy task, but it is a rewarding one.
I want this post to be a shout out to the program and to Full Sail and all the excellent staff (and students) I've worked with on this program. You've made the process bearable, and taught me a lot about technology and much more over the course of this program. I'm happy to have been a part of a program with such wonderful goals and aspirations for its students. I'm also happy to have been part of a program that is so practical and truly allows its students to engage in real life, applicable studies.
I can't wait to apply what I've learned at Full Sail to my teaching next year, when I have time to implement it and reflect on all I've learned over the summer. The gift of a Mac I can use at school, as well as all the fabulous programming will certainly not hurt me in my classroom. I can't wait to use free time this summer to go to Lynda.com and search for tutorials I didn't have time to view before. This will be an exciting summer and school year to follow!
