SAUSAGE FEST!


Yesterday, I went to the local college during my pursuit for direction. One of the few career fields I'm considering is secondary education, but the university that offers extension courses through our local college is offering their childhood education program here. Can you envision me teaching grades 1-6? Me either. On their campus (two hours away) they have an excellent combined B.A./M.S.T. adolescence education program, so I may have to inquire how many courses I could take here and how many I'd have to haul my ass north for.

My sister-in-law is a special ed. teacher and she was having a few colleagues over last night for the mass consumption of wine, so I lucked in to going there and asking questions. While my sister-in-law was of little use, her girlfriend is a PhD and works some sort of administration job with a large school system. She was really helpful and had a lot suggestions as to what type of students someone with my personality could relate too. (Apparently there's a calling for teachers who can deal with pregnant drug dealing meth-addicted teens. Who knew?)

So, my exploration continues.
