Back to Back to Back

Sorry for the delay... I have been less then focused on my blog over the last week, but now that I am back at work I have some time to post again.

So I think I have some idea of where I am going to go from this point, at least with my education. Well the plan before was education with an emphasis in political science and at this point I am going to keep going on that route. For the entire next year I need to take poli sci anyway so I am going to keep plugging away on that and during fall semester I am going to try this teaching program that Josh (Emily's brother-in-law) recommended to me to try and figure out for sure if teaching is what I want to do. If after the program I decide for sure that teaching is out I will just finish up the poli sci and change it from an emphasis to a major. If I follow that route I will be out a semester and a half early too.

So with this plan I am going to be in a lot of poli sci classes over the next year and if I plan to major in it then it does not leave me much time to try and get some internships or volunteer experience, but I am hoping with elections coming around again that I will be ok in that respect.

Although I will admit that I am not all that happy about having three classes on Tuesday/Thursday that are back to back to back (it is the only way I could take the 3 that I need next semester). For a splash of flavor I also get to add Spanish into the mix at some time... which I have not taken since high school.

So yeah, that’s next year, and school. Feel free to let me know what you think.

Yay Eric! A good plan.

A small recommendation: see about fitting in some Catholic Social Teaching classes, or get involved with Catholic Campaign for Human Develpment or the legislative action group from the diocese (speaking of internship posibilities...). This would be a good compliment to the poli sci stuff.

is the teaching program the thing you get paid for that i was telling you i wanted to do for a job? because if it is, that's kindof funny. and you stole it from me. hahaha. i forgot to talk to them about it-i'm going to need a job next year though!

I stole it from you? We were both there when Josh and Gina were telling us, and in fact I think it was directed at me. But I could be remembering wrong I suppose. :) And those sound like wonderful ideas Cindy, thanks for the help.
