My Pink Shoelace

So I went to school which was a drag actually … all I wanted to do was just curl up in bed and dream, the everlasting dream (toinks!!!). My class began at 12:00 Noon, Introduction to SPED, there were so many students and I was seated at the back I had a hard time hearing my professor as her voice was so soft. ‘Twas okay I met two new friends, my seatmates basically. So in between listening partly to the lecture we were chitchatting. Hehehe (typical student!!). My next subject though was a disaster I think, SPED 4010 – Strategies and Teaching Apprenticeship, when I got inside the classroom the first thing I noticed were the fact that my classmates were “older” and they seem to know each other pretty well. So the usual roll call was followed by the “checking” if we’re s’pose to be there in the first place. And that’s where the problem lies, am taking Intro to SPED with Strat which is not s’pose to be, all the major subjects should be taken in sequence, what’s left for me to take in my majors are Intro to SPED, Issues and Trend and Strategies.

But I cannot take Strat with Intro, I need to be done with Intro first before anything else. Wheew!! So with the professor telling me am basically lost, I was advised to change the subject and with Jyn to help me, am changing it to Music for Special Education and am adding another subject to fill in my 8-11 AM sched with Reading Readiness and Language Dev’t.

The in charge in the office was shocked why am taking Strat, when it should be the last subject to take before taking the comprehensive exams. So she approved the changes and as its 5PM already we’ll continue working on the changes on Monday and if all goes well.

This would be my new schedule.

8:00 – 11:00 AM : Reading Readiness and Language Development

12:00 – 3:00 PM : Introduction to Special Education

3:00 – 6:00 PM : Music for Special Education

 I’d be paying an additional amount for the 3 units am adding to my study load. With this schedule am taking the 6 units required for my Cognate Courses and 3 for my Major Course. Leaving me 6 units (2 subjects) more for my Major and 3 units (1 subject) for my Foundation Courses.

With all these said I’d be taking hopefully 9 units next semester, take my Comprehensive Exam next summer and work on my Intensive Practicuum and Technical Paper on the 1st Semester S.Y. 2009 – 2010. Weee … that sounds like a plan to me at least I have some sort of direction, Jyn and I are ecstatic at the thought of finishing the course and am just praying she’ll finish it first before leaving the country for the States.

Things I’ve missed : The company outing at Vistamar. I haven’t been there as I missed last year’s company outing and am missing it again this year hopefully I’d still have next year to attend to. Question is would I still be with the company to enjoy such privilege by then?
