I can totally buy the whole "joy in the journey thing" but sometimes you just have to live in a series of checkpoints. It is the mentality that settles in towards the end of a journey.
Today marks half way through the semester. We have both had our moments of feeling completely overwhelmed with school, work and callings. Luckily, our moments don't usually overlap, so the other person is available to say "toughen up and get your homework done."
As of today I have 43 days left at Teacher Education. I've been at this job since my first day of school as a freshman. I figure I've logged roughly 1,000 days at this desk.
The next large checkpoint is student teaching. I should be getting my placement assignment any day. Then there is the Praxis test in January and then the ultimate check of all checkpoints, graduation!
Will I miss my job? Did you when you left your part-time dead end job? Don't hate this place, but sure don't love it right now. I think I'll go make a paper chain with 43 links.

I hope that you will at least miss one aspect of Teacher Education...and I mean being able to wipe barf off of a paper for a certain professor. :) I'll miss you.
