New Year , New Me!

So I had all these end of year posts planned . . . and the Christmas and New Year's festivities posts planned . . . but now I might as well save it for next year. (Kind of like I'm thinking about saving my 2008 Christmas cards that still haven't been sent out).

Anyway, tomorrow I go back to school FULL TIME. And if you want to know where I am going, you can visit their link here. The program is ACCELERATED. Five weeks per class . . . four hours class time per week . . . approximately 10 hours outside class time preparation/homework per week . . . TIMES TWO. I failed the Spanish entrance exam (for NATIVE SPANISH speakers) . . . so I have to take SPANISH 501. Five stinkin' percentage points more and I would have had 80% on the test and would have been exempt from taking any more Spanish classes. I am also taking a Curriculum Design class. I could care less about all the different teaching philosophies (my philosophy is the only RIGHT one) . . . and I'd rather leave the curriculum design up to someone else. Let me teach and I am one happy camper. But, it's a required course. So I will . . . TAKE IT.

Anyway, Turabo University (that's what it's called in English) is taking 15 semester units of my 102 semester units of graduate course work I completed in California. I should have that little piece of paper that says I have my Master's degree within 6 to 8 months. And please, don't give me any grief about why didn't I finish up my Master's the first time around. I know, I know. Now I know. But 10 1/2 years ago I could have cared less about finishing up my thesis. I was going to be a STAY AT HOME MOM for the next 20+ years of my life. Funny how Heidi's plan for Heidi and Heavenly Father's plan for Heidi are always a little bit different. Who would have ever thought in a million and one years that I would be attending a PUERTO RICAN University? Not me.
