Okay, for real this time

I missed the beginning of this program when I was on maternity leave, so now I am pressuring myself to get it finished by the deadline of November 15th. It isn't really about the gift cards, although that would be nice. It is really because I know that I would put it off forever, because I have so many things that are a higher priority right now. But of course, that is the problem with lifelong learning--it isn't necessary, but it is essential. And that is why I put off anything. And it is daunting. So I am here on my day off, ready to make a dent!
