10 days - but who's counting!

First, it was years, then semesters, months, weeks - and now we are down to counting the days until my final class of the "back to school adventure"! It's hard to imagine what next semester will be like with my focus turned solely to portfolio preparation. Gasp! Granted, this is still technically a "class", but the grade at the end has a little more weight than any class assignment I've ever taken before

This Wednesday, the fall semester's portfolio students had their big Show at the Fluno Center in Madison. It was such a grand affair for several reasons. 1) Seeing fellow students and friends show off their best is exciting! 2) Madison College really knows how to put on a show! Carol and Mike did a great job of coordinating this event and the Fluno Center is beautiful. 3) Celebrating accomplishments with friends is the best. Watching them work so hard at finessing their work and then seeing them enjoy a night dedicated to this work is wonderful. 4) I also got a night away from home after 3 days with a sick child!

I remember the first Show I attended and being completely overwhelmed thinking - WOW! How did they do that? I still say WOW! - but thankfully, I now know a lot of the "hows" and am even more impressed because of that. I look forward to putting together my own personal best and celebrating with you when it's all done!

Until then - it's only 10 more days of home work!
