Something New

Lee and I have been rather busy this week.

You see, school starts Monday. So in addition to working extra hours, we have been making all the last minute plans and preparations for that. And then this other thing.

Lee has been pestering me to go to school since we got married, and especially since he went back to school. But I have always turned him down, because it is my ambition to be a stay at home mom, and going to school wouldn't really further that.

But then I had this idea.

See, most of HACC's courses are available as Internet courses.

And I can totally handle two classes a semester. And if I can't, I'll stop after this semester.

And what would it be like if I went to school part time, just for fun, to work toward... becoming a PA certified teacher? I could do evaluations, tutoring, and standardized testing to help other homeschool families out and earn a little extra money on the side.

And it would be fun.

So I haven't been "around" much this week, because I've been filling out forms and taking tests.

As of right now, I am registered for two classes - Education 101 and Math 051 (yup, I need a remedial Intermediate Algebra class - after 7 years, I suppose -pout- that is understandable). We haven't got all the i's dotted or all the kinks worked out, but its looking good. Worst case scenario, I would just start next semester.

I am grateful to be living in the 21st century, where I can take almost any class I want over the Internet. Who knew you could home school community college??
