I'm done! I'm done! I'm done! Yee hah!

After more than 2.5 years of a very intense time of it, I'm finally done with the local theological program I've been doing to become a certified catechist. I just emailed off the essay portion of the Church History and Patristics exam to our instructor (who is also the program head for the diocese).

Thank God I got through this. Sometimes I wondered, like the summer of 2010 when I was working 12 hour days AND trying to study! Now I can concentrate solely on the customs broker exam.

<whew!>

Just had to share. I'm downright giddy!

Does he want to teach RCIA or CCD? How much longer does he have to go?

He's going to teach CCD next year. He'll be done in May. I think it's been a really rewarding experience for him, but he's ready to be done too.

Hooray, hooray, hooray! I remember the lightness of finishing my grad degree.....for a little while, I felt like a "real person" who had a bit of free time and even watched tv. Of course that's when and how I discovered that I really don't like tv but that's okay.

I do hope you take a little time for YOU before diving into the next course. Congratulations!!!
