It's been a few weeks since I posted a blog entry, and that's a sign that's it's the end of the semester and I've been very busy!! I can't believe how quickly the semester has flown by, and I also can't believe how much I need to get finished in the next couple weeks. However, although I'm very busy, I'm not feeling totally overwhelmed, and I'm still able to go on with life as usual, (which included going to my son's first baseball game of the season yesterday). I also decided a few days ago that I want to take my son to Disney World in two weeks to celebrate the end of my semester and to spend some quality time with him.

And........I got a job!! I'll be starting a new position around the end of May, and I'm thrilled. I haven't had a full-time job (outside of being a student) the past 3 years, (well, actually longer than that because I was working less than full-time before I started school) so I'm a little anxious. Plus, I need to get my dissertation proposal finished by mid-August, finish a paper I'm working on (and hoping to publish) for my independent study class, finish (and publish) an article I'm working on as part of my research assistantship, and also co-author three articles with the other students in my cohort off the data we collected for practicum. I'm used to taking it easy over the summer and relaxing by the pool, so this summer will be very different. However, right now, I'm just focusing on going on vacation with my son, and I'll worry about the rest when I get back.

Please feel free to leave me a comment, and I would appreciate any suggestions on Disney World!! :)
