Hello, and welcome to March! Well, OK, it's been March for a while now, but this is the first chance I've had to write in my journal. If you notice the little things about my journals, you'll see I'm still reading the same book... I haven't been reading quite as much lately, because I've been busy doing other things!
Anyhow, we're into daylight saving time now... which means having to get up an hour early >.< However, it also means it's almost spring, and around here, it's showing... the majority of the snow is gone. One of these years, I'm going to have to get some decent snow shots, but I never seem to get around to doing it.
Recently, I've had a bit of a conundrum about what to do about school... I was trying to decide whether I would work part time while doing school (Early Childhood Education) part time and online, or move into the city (an apartment), and take my ECE full time, or go back to University, live in res, and get back into teaching. Well, I think I've finally decided, but it's not really any of those options!! See, I was talking to a customer at the store I work at, and they said they went to college and did a transfer program from college to the University (for their teaching)... which I thought about, and decided I would try. So, that's the plan... now I just have to cross my fingers that I'll stick to it. I was trying to weigh out the pros and cons of different options before... University costs more and takes longer, but it's more with the age group of kids I'd like to work with. Plus, the residences they have at the University don't have kitchenettes, and I don't think I could live off of nothing but cafeteria/commercial food. As for teaching, the thing is... I'm not the best speaker, but I think I might enjoy it more. And, you get paid more as a teacher than working in a daycare. On the other hand, you have to have better marks as a teacher... but I guess that just means I'll have to be really dedicated, and work harder. Well, wish me luck!
Oh, and I hope everyone has a Happy St. Pat's Day, and a Happy Easter - in case I don't get a journal in by that time.
