So, the much anticipated Capstone project has begun. I am excited about my topic; a love of reading is the reason I became an English teacher. Through my Capstone project, I hope to create an innovative way for present and future students to engage and connect with literature. Personally, I'm making a few commitments to myself in order to stay balanced, and sane, throughout this journey. I'm vowing to continue my yoga practice at least two night per week. Exercise and yoga are outlets for stress and anxiety, so I must not lose focus on my well-being the further I immerse myself in this research project. I continually check in with the various roles and responsibilities I have in my life, doing my best to keep all aspects balanced. Good luck to us all as we begin the next leg of this journey, bringing us one step closer to our common goal: graduation! The image is of the Ying & Yang martini at
The Melting Pot. My husband & I celebrated our 7th anniversary Saturday; the martini was dessert!
Well said! I have a very hard time finding a balance between life and my graduate work. I told my kids last week that I'll see them at Christmas--ha!
ReplyDeleteThe balance is going to be difficult. Already struggling to keep the MAIT work in balance while remembering to stay up to date on teaching. So glad that my home responsibilities are slightly less as both of my daughters are successfully focused on their jobs. Now if they will just keep from calling me to "make" and "fix" stuff at their homes! Maybe I should see that as my outlet?
