Well, that went amazingly well. I think I tend to be a little too critical of myself. For instance, I got worried when Gail said "Oh, so you didn’t do indicators?" when she saw my portfolio, but after my presentation she raved about how I didn’t NEED to do indicators, that the way I composed everything, it hit the indicators anyway. And my practicum, which I was so, so worried about, she loved, as did the other prof. Gail held Ingrid the whole time, until Miss Sara showed up — Ingrid’s awesome sitter — and Sara wanted a round, and then Jim (the other prof in the program/my boss last year/Sara’s dad) held her for awhile, and Ingrid was fascinated by his beard. The admins all cooed at her, too.

Anyway, yes, I’m way too freaking hard on myself, they loved it, thought it was great, etc etc, congratulations, you’re done. DONE!!!!

Then, my advisor watched me wrap up Ingrid and we talked for 20 minutes about our shared dislike for baby buckets, and other babywearing type stuff, since OF COURSE I have the veteran babywearer advisor.

Done! DONE! Master’s of Education in Instructional Technology, yo. ALL MINE.
