A sigh of relief
It’s hilarious how I talk about my brother and sister-in-law and he happens to be the one that awoken me from my nice little nap. Thanks big brother! He called because he is looking to get my sister-in-law a new computer and printer since theirs isn’t there best. Evidently, their computer and printer has crapped out so it’s time to buy a new one. He wanted to know what I recommend as far as brands and where to shop since we literally went from having four computer stores to like one, Staples. So after a twenty minute conversation, I’m interested to find out what he buys in the end.
Aside from the lack of sleep I’ve had lately, I am happy to report that my mood has improved completely. In fact, no more acne solutions for me because my face has cleared up which has given me confidence back. I really am unsure what is going on with me but I’m just glad it’s not affecting me at this moment. I just thought today during class that it could be because of my thyroid level since I’ve been waiting to have it checked since I don’t have insurance. So I guess I need to bite the bullet and have it drawn. Hopefully once I have it drawn, my Dr. can adjust my level and I can feel better again. This whole having seasonal depression and no energy at all mixed with my whole body hurting is for the birds.
My classes went really well today. I think I made a 100 on my test I had in geography over the map. I knew where everything was and was glad I studied a little extra as I was getting to bed last night. In my education class, we went over teachers’ salaries and the prospective jobs when we graduate. It turns out my first year of teaching I can expect to bring in $40,000. Also, within five years, 50% of Georgia teachers will be retiring which is awesome since I will be graduating when they are in time for retirement. Another thing our professor told us about was that in 2020, there is an expected need of 20,000 teachers in Georgia and last year, the state only turned out 4,400 teachers which means my future is looking even brighter. This class gave me the biggest sigh of relief because finding a job has been something I’ve been very worried about. This all took a big burden off of my shoulders because even if I don’t find a job once I graduate, I know I can head to school for my master’s degree and find a job within the first year. Out of all the graduates from West Georgia this spring, only two didn’t find a job because they weren’t willing to take the job offered to them. So, even with the recession, all of them were offered jobs and if I have to travel, so be it. Even if I have to move, so be it, because I can stay there until something closer opens up. I am not going to panic over my future because generally when you get a job as a teacher, you have a job for life.
I don’t know if it’s my good mood or my amazing class today, but I feel in a great mood. I think I’m going to go cuddle with the fiance and watch a movie. He expressed how much he misses spending time with me last night and it made me realize that even though we live together, we don’t spend that much quality time together because of my school schedule and his. We need to make more time for each other! So until next time, later loves.

The other day I was looking up West Georgia University University and accidently typed in the wrong web address and came across Western Governors Online University which seemed interesting so I decided to check it out. Yes, I was bored and this happens quite a lot with me these days. Basically, the school is an online university which in my eyes is pretty awesome in itself. I’ve always loved the benefits of online schools but was always scared about their accreditation. Believe it or not, Western Governors Online University IS accredited. I can just imagine how many people this college is going to benefit because let’s face it, not everyone has the time nor the resources to go to school and sit in a class. College is expensive and with the current recession going on, most people have to work in loo of going to school which is completely understandable. I was also impressed how affordable this college was as well. So affordable compared to my college that I forwarded the link to my sister-in-law. She wants to go finish her business degree but is finding a hard time because she needs to work in order for her and my brother to make ends meet. He can pay the bills on his own but having three kids has added expenses and since his work has been having lay offs quite frequently she has had to work as well. The good news is that Western Governors Online University offers an online business degree program which my sister-in-law could majorly benefit from!
