Back to School
No it is not for a doctorate. The timing is not right for that, although I wish it was but you can’t fight God for something you want and don’t need.
I am taking a class this summer at UAM that was funded by the No Child Left Behind Grant. This class is Spanish for Teachers. I am so excited. English as a second language students are constantly growing in this area. I have one myself. She speaks perfect English but Mom cannot.
This class will provide me with the Rosetta Software ($500 and it is mine). Rosetta Software is the leading software to teach a second language to someone. I don’t have to pay for it. Isabel Bacon will be instructing the class on how to use the software and teach us Spanish.
The grant also pays for the graduate class. I am not out of any money, except the University fees. You know those crazy infrastructure fees (What is this). At the end of the course, I will also be given a stiped for $150.
I am so excited to have this opportunity to learn Spanish without having to be out of any money (except childcare).
I get to go to school for FREE!!

Aw Man… that stinks.
You know, you’re so not alone in that. I think that women, especially, are taught to be “sweet and quiet.” That you’re mean, or the ‘b’ word if you speak up for yourself. (even if you do it nicely) I don’t know how I would’ve handled that situation… but I know I would have been upset as well. We can always look back and see what we “wish we’d have done differently” but there’s no point in that. Just live and learn, I guess. It does bug me.. to the extreme.. when certain ppl get special treatment that others don’t. Not fiar… not cool. I hope next week is a lot better!!
