Ethics & Decision Making: Self Assessment

Will I ever not be in school??!?  As I take on my sixth class of 12 in my master's program, I find myself feeling less than motivated and positive.  Why don't I have the glass half full attitude?  I'm almost half way done (I try to tell myself).  Instead, I feel like how am I ONLY half way done??  I'm 26 and I have been a student my whole life with no more than a few months off.  Anyone else feeling overwhelmed or having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?

On a positive note, so far  I like this class a lot more than the last class I took in the MMC program.  Especially after looking through the course objectives and syllabus, I feel this class will match interests and abilities much more than the last class I took did.  I find myself more motivated I read through the final projects and course objectives.

I also find the all the little extras in this course really stimulating, like the video overviews and the thoughts/images for the week.   

I think making the commercial will be fun, but I am also a little concerned about the amount of time it will take. 

I love that the final paper is completed in milestones.  I feel like those kinds of deadlines are much truer to a real world work environment.  I'm worried about choosing a topic for the final paper and final commercial.  Because of that, I will start to consider topics now and try to avoid the panic at the last minute (as I sometimes do with final papers/projects).

Well, onward I go.  I feel like Nemo in Finding Nemo sometimes...just keep swimming, just keep swimming...
