Career choices.

I officially have a grad school schedule. Did I already mention that?

Full-time status for a grad school student is 9 hours, not twelve. I thought I would at least give that a shot and make sure I make it out alive before I dive into the crazy, and almost never completed, world of 12-hours. My one class on campus is on Monday or Tuesday... either way, beginning of the week... and my other two are online. So...

I've decided to substitute teach. My dad says if you make it through substitute teaching, you might just like education. So I guess this'll be my test. I'm thinking that, since I can participate in class from anywhere with Internet access, I'll try to sub at my very on Alma Mater as well as some Tuscaloosa County schools (which, incidentally, are huge and terrifying compared to my sweet 4A high school). Ideally, I could work on homework while the kiddies watch movies or do the pointless writing assignments that teachers leave while they're away. Maybe it won't work out that, but if it doesn't the other perk of substitute teaching is that my schedule is completely at my discretion. Huge paper due tomorrow? That's cool, I can't teach today.

I hadn't planned to work since I'm a "full-time student" so I figure a little work here and there is better than no work at all, regardless.

I just hope grad school doesn't blow up my world so much that I can't fit in one day of substitute teaching every once and a while...
