Where do I even begin?! I may have mentioned in an earlier post that I went back to school to extend my certification for teaching. I am taking 2 amazing classes at Union Graduate College, and I am loving almost every minute of it! Our instructors are fantastic, and I have learned REAL ways to implement new strategies into my class. I have noticed that small changes have made a big difference. I think I appreciate it more than my previous education classes because I have a real frame of reference. Before, the ideas were conceptual and now it all has meaning, if that makes sense. The only thing I do not love are the times and location of the classes. When I leave school on Thursdays, it takes me 65 minutes to get to school. Not to mention that the other class day is Saturday! For someone who is very protective of her weekends, this has been a big adjustment for me. Friday nights no longer hold that "we have 2 days off" feeling, but I think the sacrifice is small and short. Classes end mid-March, and I have 11 more class meetings during that time. We do not have class tomorrow, and I AM SO HAPPY!
I have also picked up 2 tutoring jobs which has added on more work. I am happy for the extra money, and so far the kids have been easy to work with. The timing of the tutoring couldn't be better since the winter months tend to be financially tighter than the golf course months, lol. Plus, we want to bank as much money as we can before our baby arrives so that we can stay home a bit. Speaking of baby, we met with our profile designer and her husband for dinner this week, and I am SO excited to see what she comes up with!
That's all for now, but part of my plan for the long weekend is to do more blogging. I have a busy but fun weekend planned so stay tuned...
