Rose's Last Day of Lab at Weber

Lab this semester was rough. The first day of lab started on the first Monday in January, when my kids were home for their last day of winter break. It was a bummer leaving them. The things we learned in the labs this semester could have been done through an online video or at home. Thankfully, I have awesome friends and classmates, so it was always fun seeing and spending time with them. Jackie is on the far right, and Tressa is next to me to the left (my right). We carpooled, and it was fun. They are awesome ladies, and I enjoyed getting to know them better. Liv, who is on the far left in the picture. I met her at the lab, and she is very smart and kind. She didn't carpool with us, but we hung out at the lab. 

After this semester, I have 3 semesters left, or 1 year. You would think that would feel really good, but it actually doesn't. I feel so tired of being stretched thin, writing papers, and doing homework every free minute. I'm just ready to be done, so knowing there is one more year is a bummer. It doesn't help to think that if I did a Master's program online, I would finish in 5 semesters. I just have to keep reminding myself that it will be worth it to have a doctorate and never have to go back. Also, this won't last forever. I just need to take it one day at a time.
