Thoughts on a Master's...
Decided to celebrate my degree with some fav quotes:
Sooner or later we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, the graduations, the weddings, not the great goals achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. ~Susan B. Anthony
The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of education. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
(teaching philosophy always drives this one home for me... no matter how many times it happens I never fail to be surprised/offended/frustrated when people place more importance upon facts instead of upon how to process them. 'Why think? hasn't someone else already done that?' is a sentiment that is all too freakin' common)
