Papers and a Birthday

I'm working on the papers that go along with my field experience for my new endorsement today.....YUCK! YUCK! YUCK! Five years of college is enough for me for a while. I have always wanted to get my master's degree, but I think I need to wait a little while to get some of my school-oriented motivation back. These papers are driving me insane.

In other news, tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 23. Crazy. There are many days, after I come home from school absolutely exhausted, that I feel like I'm not old enough for the responsibilities I have. Maybe tomorrow, when I'm officially 23, I'll feel old enough for them. :P I'm not placing any bets on that. It's not that I want to be too young - it's just that I feel overwhelmed with everything, and I wonder if it's because I don't have many experiences yet.

My parents are coming up for a short visit tomorrow morning, and I think I'm going to take them to my classroom. I just want them to see where I spend so much of my time. I think they'll enjoy it too. While they never say it, I'm pretty sure they are proud of me. Hopefully sharing that part of my life with them increases that sense of pride for them.

I guess I should get back to my papers now though...(Again, can I just say - YUCK?) Only five more to go...
