Final final

 

I am currently completing my final final, a take home test due tomorrow.

So I'm hitting the books and going to meetings today.

In the meantime, please enjoy this lovely video by Maggie Doyne

of her children in Nepal

(I wrote about her a few days ago...)

So inspiring.  

I needed to be reminded

why I'm studying and taking finals and putting myself through all this.

Everybody needs to love and be loved.

"open up your chest and let it in..."

Ah, perspective.

Final final? As in Dr. W final? Either way - congrats! Way to go, friend!

Well...it *is* my final final in that this is the last course I have to take. But now I have the long road of qualifying review, dissertation proposal, dissertation research and writing. Baby steps, right?! (As I said, I really needed this reminder about WHY I am putting myself through all this!)

YEAH! Good luck! If I could do it all over again, I'd do it like Maggie. Such an inspiration!
