gradu- WHAT?

I had my first real scary moment of senior year: a VERY conflicting schedule for the spring semester.

AHH!

I was literally in tears last night planning it all out. I checked Amber's (my advisor) schedule and saw she had walk-ins all day. I set my alarm for 7:30a to walk-in around 8a.

So what happened is that I need to take SPED 401a, but it conflicts with my ATHC 318 (coaching volleyball) and I need ATHC 318 to graduate with my coaching minor. For a few hours it looked as if coaching would have to wait. What a shitty feeling. So I went to bed and had dreams that I went to grad school. Uh WHAT? EXCUSE ME? GRAD SCHOOL? I woke up and thought, well that's a possibility...

So I rolled out of bed and into Amber's office and just laid it all out there.
She always has a plan.

And that she did. "Well what about taking SPED 401b in the summer? It's middle level, but we can make it work." Yup, Amber is a life saver. So I think that is what I'm going to do. It's my only hope in graduating with my major AND minor. Then I asked about post-graduation. The dreaded grad school. I don't know shit about graduate school. She said something about applying to the college, applying for the endorsement (or whatever) and then taking the GRE. I hate paper work.

So now I have my nose in an Undergrad Bulletin trying to figure out what I want to do. Yeah, I have a little under a year to decide, but HELLO it's going to go fast as fuck. A few choices: media specialist.. reading specialist... administration... or i could just go straight into substitute teaching. I don't even know where I want to teach yet!

Something that I really need to be thinking about it student teaching. I was thinking Gretna or Papillion, but perhaps Millard or an OPS school... Westside? I don't know. I need to do some research pronto! My application is due March 1st and I don't even have my application (they haven't given them out yet).

I wish I wasn't a stressful person.

Oh well, Kelcey and I are going to talk about grad school to see what my options are and I can always come back after a year or 2 of teaching (its a prereq).

I'm off to figuring out my schedule with work and hopefully I'll know something about volleyball soon. I work at 3 and thankfully get to lounge for a bit/attempt to clean my room.

SLYB.
