Am I done? I think so...but I could just add one more thing. That is were I am right now. I think I am done...but in the middle of the night I think of things to add, or things to double check. I am probably not done....there is probably a big piece I have forgotten all about. I need to go back and look at my check off list...again. I don't think I will really feel done, until after the presentation.
The overall process...? I enjoy the creativity, I enjoy building the website, I even enjoy the knit-picky-graphics stuff. The time and pressure was the only part I didn't enjoy. I wonder how the process would be different during a regular semester. The doubling up on classes was brutal. Even though we were out of school, the pace seemed grueling. There are time when I wish I knew earlier in the year what the capstone project was all about, but I am glad I didn't know how much work was entailed, I might have chickened out. I think that I was able to show my daughter a good example of grit and perseverance, but it was tough. I hope she remember this when she is faced with similar tasks. It won't always be fun, but you buckle down and get it done. It was hard to give up summer and really focus. But I am possibly more proud of the outcome and accomplishment knowing it was so difficult. I also love my cohort even more this summer session. Everyone is so tired. There was a lot of laughter and humorous commiserating that made the whole thing much more tolerable. I will not miss the work, but I will miss cohort 11. That being said, I am really, really looking forward to Thursday. Our first real day of summer.
