Master's in Education

Last weekend when I was back at St. Mary's for the Special Olympics sailing regatta, I got to thinking.  I've wanted an excuse to move back down there since I graduated a year ago May.  I have friends in the area.  It's absolutely beautiful.  It's pretty cheap to live down there.  I know they have a good running club.  I could go sailing all the time. They also-and here's the important part-just started a Master of Arts in Teaching.  It's a one-year program with a bunch of prequisites.  This could be perfect.

So here's what I need to do in the next year or two to make it happen:
-get back in touch with my college professors and see if they won't write recommendations
-find out if Carroll Community classes will transfer and take Intro. Psych and basic math/science classes next semester
-find equivilancies for at least 5 pre-requisite courses in education and start taking them
-start substitute teaching to make sure it's what I really want to do
-start researching student loans and grant opportunities to pay for it

-spend February/March in New Orleans
-spend the last week of June cruising to Bermuda to celebrate my grandparent's 50th anniversary

I'm very happy.  I think not being able to do NPRC really is going to turn out for the best.  This is a very happy birthday indeed.
