Well, here we are December 17, and the term is almost finished. I can't believe how time has flown. Its almost incredible how fast time has passed, but I guess thats how it goes when your busy, and busy I have been. When I first considered returning to school, I knew it would be challenging, but nothing could have prepared me for these last three months. I had heard all the "horror" stories about COGS, but me being me, I just figured "ahh it won't be that hard". Well I can tell you, that the last three months of my life have probably been the most challenging times I have ever faced. Trying to balance a home life with two young children, and a mountain of school work is no easy task, not to mention the challenges of getting back in the groove after being out of school for ten years. Its kind of funny to think back of how I couldn't even get the dual monitor to work my first few days of school, but now I can create an atlas from scratch, and can use a GPS to create a sidewalk survey good enough to be used by municipal council. It hasn't been an easy road, but I have learned a lot. Hopefully my marks will allow me to return in January, and I will be able to start it all over again!
