Baby steps

I had another small victory last night! 

After spending several days working on organizing my coding by hand for the dissertation study, I figured out how to organize it through the computer software.  This saved me at least a month's worth of work and I can now move on to the next step in coding and still try to make the Sept. 30th deadline!! 

Somehow with the click of a few buttons, I was able to create a 196 report that I will now use to move on to the next coding step.  Whew! 

What a way to kick off the start of this new school year.  Today is my last official day of summer.  I am so not ready to return to long days/nights on campus but it has to be done...and hopefully more items will get checked off on my to-do list as my colleagues and I move toward the completion, or nearing completion, of several research projects.

As I mentally prepare for this crazy busy semester that is about to start, I have to chuckle over this comic a friend sent me the other day. 

Amen!  To all of you who are returning to work/school/in-service this week, good luck and have a great school year!  To those of you who are starting a new work week this week, hope it's a good one! 

Go out there and live it up today as we wind down this summer!  The sun is shining (for now) and life is good!  Thanks be to God!
