| Man, being with little kids is truly tiring, even though I don't really play with them. Since I'm "between jobs" at the moment, I'm volunteering at the CFC Summer School in the afternoons. I would help out all day, but waking up at 7a is rather difficult. Anyway, I'm supposed to be studying in the mornings for my GRE, though that isn't working out too well. *sigh* Eh, I'm still studying in the evenings and my verbal, though not too shabby, can use a little work. I'm scoring around 86% on the Antonyms, Analogies, and Sentence Completion practices. I haven't taken a look at the Long Passage section, Analyzing section or Quantitative sections yet, though. I'm really worried about the last section. I hate math. 
I should really be taking this test more seriously. Although I had originally planned to not take it and apply to the Masters and Certification program at U of I, I thought it might be smarter to take my GRE and also think of applying to other schools, as well. Actually, someone suggested that to me. I guess I was being arrogant in assuming I would get into the one school I apply to. Anyway, now that I am planning on applying to other schools, I have to find out what other schools offer Masters and Certification programs. Well, as luck would have it, graduation from the Ms.Ed program at Northwestern also provides Certification, and it's only a one year program! That's one year less than U of I and if I apply by the November deadline, I can apply for the Winter 2005 semester. Like my Mom said, the sooner I finish, the better it is.
Thirty more minutes until I drive home. Sheesh, a 3 hour drive and I'm tired from being with the little kids.
Remember, this Sunday is Father's Day. |
Seriously, I just did not have the energy to get out of my apartment tonight and be productive. Looks like I'll have to make up for tonight by getting up early tomorrow and studying in the morning before I head over to the Summer School to help out. Tomorrow's activity: bowling. Aigoooo....
