Welcome to 2011
It's been a long time since I've updated my blog - and even longer since I've updated my website. For the new year, I figured it might work out best if I combined the two.
:::::::
2011 brings about many changes and challenges. I will be going back to school for Speech Pathology tomorrow, while still working full-time as an AmeriCorps member at an elementary school. Plus, a lot of health issues have come up in my family and my boyfriend's.
Aside from the challenges the year brings, in the early fall, my boyfriend and I are planning a trip to somewhere far away. We haven't decided yet between Brazil, New Zealand, or Japan, but we will start delving into our plans over the next few months.

As far as this blog goes, I hope to update it at least weekly. I hope I can keep it up!

A Real Look at My Future
I have been toying with the idea of going back to school to become a Speech Therapist and today I took the first step to find out how to do it.
I met with a professor at University of Cincinnati about the Master's Program for Speech-Language Pathology. I knew going in that I would have some prerequisite courses to take before I could start the Master's Program, but I didn't imagine that it would be 11 courses!
That will make things tricky because I have agreed to another year as an AmeriCorps member and that means more than 40 hours each week with some days not ending until after 5:30pm. I was informed today that there are no evening classes for this program, but some are offered online. Long story short, it may take 2 years for me to complete the prerequisite courses before I could start the Master's Program.
There's a million other things to think about, like how would I pay for it, when would I start, would I take them online or on campus, etc.
This line of thought is still in the very beginning stages, but I am thinking about it.

Great Book
I just finished reading this book, and I must say I have learned quite a few things from it. The Love & Logic method seems so logical, but as teachers (and probably also as parents) we don't tend to think of these methods on our own.
I've already started to try to use them at school and I've found that they work. It's remembering when and how to use them that are the hard parts that will take much practice.
