Graduate School

Well everyone in case you haven't heard I am going back to school once again. I have entered Grad School! I am currently enrolled in 6 hours at OSU Tulsa. I am working towards getting my Masters in Educational Leadership Studies Higher Education. I am looking to get my degree so that I can follow in granddad's foot steps and one day help run a major University. It will only take me two years (I hope) to complete the program. This also means that I will try to get out of the teaching world at the end of this academic year. I figure I might have to take a pay cut, but in return I will gain much need connections and some more experience. I love that I work with kids, but I am bored of teaching the same material every 18 weeks. Maybe if I taught at a school where I had the same kids all year it would be a little different. I am teaching the Chemistry portion of Physical Science twice this term (two 9 week sessions). How boring is that?
Anyhow, I am very excited about the prospect of a career change and look forward to being back on a university campus. Tonight was my first class and I was super excited to go, however, after sitting there for 30 and the professor never showing, all 4 of us left. What a let down. Tomorrow I go again to a different class, hopefully it will turn out better.
