One week from today, I will begin my teaching certification program. For the next nine months, I will be working hard on furthering my career and expanding my knowledge base. I am excited and nervous. The last time I was involved in university-level learning was 7 years ago. Boy, time does go by fast.
I think I am about as ready as possible. Books have been in for a while, even a Psychology textbook I ordered just to have on hand as a reference. Amazingly, despite keeping strange school books, like Moby Dick, I sold back my Psych book. Grrr! Tuition is paid. I have set up my new school email and e-Learning accounts.
And I received a big surprise today! Joern bought me a new laptop with a mobile-internet stick. I am so excited!!! The new laptop is a new Eee-PC, like my pink one, just with Windows, a larger screen, and a slightly larger keyboard. It is black this time, but no complaints here. I feel really like I am getting ready for my first day of school, and remember beginning college with my brand new laptop. Okay, that lasted me four years, and I am going to make this stretch a whole 9 months, but still, it feels so exciting!
I am going to do lots of housework this weekend, because I know that will decline slightly when I begin school. Otherwise, I am just going to try to relax a bit this weekend and know that this is it for a while!

Hey, thanks for all the comments! It is always nice to know someone is reading. Now that I have a little more free time, I'll try to comment on your blog more often!
We start teaching tomorrow. Yeek! After I wrote my blog about how we aren't getting the hours we were promised, they called to offer Pat four more hours of classes... Then called me to cancel two of mine! Ouch, oh well. At least I'll have time to settle in before I start teaching 20 hours a week.
Sounds like you are heading into an adventure of your own. Best of luck, I'm sure the next nine months will be challenging, but really valuable.
