i passed my last teacher test (for a while) and emailed my professor tonight with the results. i should have my certificate in the next few days if all goes well.
i've been working the teaching certificate angle since 2008 and now i have a great job...a career, actually, and i am more secure than i ever have been. making more money, still renting the same house, working on a great marriage, got finny to the little boy stage, teaching him to read, feeling successful...but now i just feel like i should start another to-do list.
this to-do list will be crazy ambitious like i think i'll learn college algebra or paint the ceiling in my living room. i think about driving to california with finny or learning chinese online. i want to know which one is more difficult but i want to know from experience and not cause i wiki'd it.
i want to see rebecca in iowa and sit in on a grad school class with her. heck, i think i'll go to grad school myself.
chicago is on my top 5 list of places places to go...i think i'll drive there too, after california, before maine to see the leaves change. josh and i can get married there with all of our friends. or at the lady bird johnson wildflower center in april when the bluebonnets are in full swing.
how about don quixote? never read that...i'll write that one down too. and paradise lost.
i'll keep a journal again.
i might make it to one of those writing groups that i keep missing.
i'll drink water in the evenings instead of coffee and tea. i'll write blogs instead of philosphies of education.
be normal and fun. and not have so many mood swings.
i don't think much has changed except the teaching certificate thing but this feels like a new leaf.
