Burnt Out

I think several of the other mom's blogs I read have said they are a little burnt out from blogging lately. Well I think I've hit that point too. I'm hoping it's just the weather, because we haven't gotten out and done anything fun lately since it's been so cold.

I have also been very stressed out with school and this is the hardest sememster I think. I have had 3 bad headcolds since school started and just felt in a medicine daze during those times. Olivia has also been sick some too and my great uncle passed away this week. My professors have been fairly understanding of the situation so that's been nice, but it just feels like everything is going wrong this last semester of college. So bring on May 2! I cannot wait to escape the horrid UTC.

I don't think I've mentioned this on the blog either - I have decided to go ahead and start my Master's degree instead of trying to find a job in this economy. I will be attending Lee University in Cleveland and getting a Master's of the Art of Teaching degree which will allow me to teach Business Education 7-12 :) It is a 14 month program in which I will take about 8 classes in the summer of 2010, observe teachers from different schools and different grades in the fall, student teach in the spring, and then finish up with about another 8 classes in the summer of 2011. I will graduate in August of 2011. I am so very excited about it! I will be taking my MAT (grad school entry test) next Friday, so say a prayer for me about that!

So long for now bloggers! Hopefully I will have more to post about as we make our way into March and (hopefully) springtime!
