the singing me!

in an effort to get to know the city a little more and to get to know a couple of people to hang out with...i have recently decided to try and get into a master's program at one of the universities here. there are several which have the degree i would like (educational counseling). however, the school that i am looking at (loyola) requires that i have a couple of classes before being admitted. so i need to take the classes before applying. so i am trying to get into another school (northwestern) in order to take the three classes. haha ....tons of things to do and not alot of time. the deadline to get into northwestern for the winter trimester is november 1. by then, i have to have like a million things to do.

am i crazy for trying to get a degree completely different than what i am currently doing. yes. do i think that i will love my job more. absolutely. i cant wait for the day when i get to walk into a high school and know that one day, im going to have that one child that comes and tells me that i was the one that helped mold them into who they are. i cant wait.

hopefully besides getting a great education from another great insitution, i will get to know a couple of cool people to hang out with and i will be less inclinded to leave the unknown and go back to a more familiar set of surroundings.

ps....if you havent seen the show "singing bee" it is so funny. if only someone could hear the words i sing when i don't know the real words to the song!
