Back to School

Well, here I am again at the beginning of the school year. Actually, come to think of it, I haven't been in school in the Fall since before Steven and I got married. So perhaps I should say, "Here I am again at the beginning of the semester." Ok, I'm done arguing with myself. :)

I am glad to be at school but slightly less motivated because I thought I would be already starting my methods. Unfortunately, I found out that while my GPA isn't completely awful, combined with my transfer GPA from Texas A&M (which was terrible), I do not yet qualify for methods. So I'm retaking two classes this semester to bring up my GPA and finishing my history classes for my major. So I have two history classes and two English classes. Then, Lord willing, I will do my methods in the Spring and my student teaching next fall and THEN...... graduation Dec. 2009. This produces a huge, major, gigantic *SIGH* from me because I am so very sick of not having a degree. I'm really not tired of school (probably a good thing since I'm going to be a teacher) but I am so tired of working so hard and long, and still not having a degree. And tied to the degree is the hope for more money which means more stability, blah, blah, blah. I was really hoping to be done with college May 2009 so that I would have a better chance at getting a teaching position. I do not regret marrying my husband when I did but our struggles have hinged upon neither of us having college diplomas. But I will say again as I have often said, I probably wouldn't even have finished school if it weren't for Steven. He gave me renewed hope and motivation, as well as showing me what I could be capable of. He's so wonderful!

Speaking of my wonderful husband, he and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary yesterday. Unfortunately it fell on the first day of classes for me so we didn't get to do much. I made a lasagna and we had a small red velvet cake for after dinner. Steven was really sweet and set the table with candles and wine. He's such a good husband!

School is back in session which means I should be reading. Here we go again!
