This month has been absolutely crazy for me. I take my comprehensive exam on Saturday and I have been doing nothing but studying. I havent been spent time with my family,friends or with my hubby. I havent called any of my friends, blogged, done laundry, cleaned, etc. I didnt even spend Easter with my family!!! For all of you I have not called, emailed, text etc...I am sorry its just been crazy but it will all be over soon. I take my test and then I find out 2 weeks later if I passed or not. So it will be a long 2 weeks. I have felt like I am going crazy and I started reflecting on the last three years I have spent on getting this degree and this is what it boils down to
21 classes at $1050 a piece
$1500 for books that I will never use again
$70 cap & gown/hood
$40 announcements
$400 for licensure test...test I have to take after my comps to be licensed..which will be even harder than the comps test
1632 hours spent in class
countless hours writing papers, doing research, reading, studying etc
2 internships = 960 hours of free labor
= a possible $2500 annual income increase after graduation...Yep its true...OFFICIALLY NUTS!!! All this hard work for a whopping extra $2500 a year...Truly crazy!!!

That's awesome T. I don't know how you have done so much schooling... There's no way I could have done that!!!
That does sound crazy; however, think about what an excellent mom you are going to make with all that extra insight and knowledge!!! Good Luck on your exam. We need to get together when you are all done :-)
LOL - I'm sure you will see the benefit one day, even if it's not financially at first! Good luck!
We missed you last night. I'll be glad when you can play again. We have a fun group now!
It will be a long two weeks for all of us! I am sure that you did fabulous and passed. Can't wait to hear, and I am sure that Zac cannot wait to have his wife back!
I think it is amazing what you have done. Im glad its almost over! How many people have the drive, long term dedication and discipline it takes to do that :)
