Back to school at My Age!

Ugh! That's right...Ugh! I have had my mid life crisis and decided to go back to school and get my teaching certificate. Being a sales person and dealing with the general public, even if I was on commission and good at what I did, SO lost its appeal for me! In a big way!
I have my bachelors degree, so this is ONLY a 2 semester...(1 year) program. But...you can, if you are so inclined, get your masters degree while you are there...only another 12 hours...ugh!
Why do I say Ugh...because this means that the courses I am taking for my certification are masters level courses... Ugh! It means I am working my ass off for the next year...reading, writing, and arithmetic...ing. I am getting my certificate so I can teach Pre-k (never gonna happen) through 4th grade. My favorite grades to teach so far are 1st and 2nd grade.
They are so young and naive, yet so smart and clever. It is incredible to watch a child learn to read and write! Seeing them have an AHA moment because they finally get it!
So here I sit reading and writing about reading and writing. I KNOW it will all be worth it...as long as I can get a J.O.B. If I don't, my husband may just stroke out!
