December 14th I graduated from my Masters Program. Friday I received my diploma and the frame I ordered for it. It is very impressive. I went to the graduation ceremony which I am glad to have done. It was a good feeling to walk across that stage with my Honor’s cord.
I’m thinking about taking a Cataloging class and a class on Reference. I think that would be useful. Of course, it would have to be online and not too expensive so I’m going to start looking. This summer would be a good time to take a couple of classes. It would also help me get started on the next rung of my salary which is MS + 15. If I take a bunch of workshops and get college credit for them and some classes I should be able to get that accomplished relatively soon.
I’ll have to see whether I am willing to get my Doctorate or another Masters. Hunting for an online Doctorate in my field will be interesting. If I were willing to drive a couple of hours and take night classes I’m sure that there are places I could take classes but I will have to weigh that very carefully.
At any rate, yeah–I graduated!

Regular session school has finished–summer school
has been going on for a week now. I am enjoying
the kids and the classes. I get to teach Math
for the core classes and games for the electives.
I am having a lot of fun with this.
I have started class for my summer school.
I am taking only one class this summer
which is good since the course involves writing a mini-dissertation.

Today we had a lot going in the library. We were host to the Reading Counts
store which had lots of good prizes as rewards for reading and passing tests.
I managed to get some work done on the many end-of-year reports that must
be completed. Reports for the State, collection improvement report,information
at a glance regarding standards, inventory information and the annual report all
need to be completed.
When I finish the reports, then I can work on straightening my office–
clean the library and get it ready for next school year.

A week left of school–yeah. I have a couple more days
after that. I’malmost finished with inventory and have
oodles of reports to do after that but soon I will have
completed these tasks and then I can move on to the
next task.
After that I have a little bit of time off and then I
will teach summer school and take a class.

The end of school is coming soon. There are many things that have
to be completed before I can heave a sigh of relief and close the
books (ha) on another school year. I will teach summer school and
take one class toward my Masters. (only 3 left!)
I expect to be able to relax some this summer as well–that would
be refreshing!

School let out at 1 today. It’s been snowing and is slick.
We are supposed to get more snow tonight and tomorrow
so we will see whether it translates to no school tomorow.
Sure wish the govenor would sign the bill that would limit
the time we have to make up. I don’t want to be teaching
regular session until June.

Turns out it’s good I haven’t felt sorry for myself about the time we spent without
power because my principal is_ still _without power. Yesterday some of the kids I
worked with still didn’t have power. That’s with crews working very hard to
restore the power.

For the past nine days I have had no electricity. I had telephone until a tree limb took out the line.
I was without phone service for three days. We had no water for four days. It’s been an adventure. I wouldn’t like to repeat it. Camping has never been my thing but I will not complain. Apart from catching a cold and spending more money than I wanted to, it was okay.
