Busy... but rewarding

Has anyone had a lot of work to do, and then at night you sit there and think through all of the things that you did and you are so pleased with yourself. I am hoping that is what I will feel after this weekend. I feel a bit stressed with all the work that I have to do, but I am tyring to look at the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow (okay... bad analogy because rainbows are pretty... and some of this work isn't that pretty but just plain ugly!) and tell myself that it will all be worth it when I get to class and I feel satisfied and prepared. Yup... that's what I am going for.
