Well it has paid off a little. I was finally called to do substitute teaching today. I was only a floating aid, and the money sucks. But this was fun and it made me more comfortable with my plans for the future. I am thinking i could be happy subbing when I can and doing a lot of traveling in between. It really felt good to be able to say I had the 60 credits needed to qualify.

you are not very subtle hints are funny. I have thought about it and if it was lower grades I might enjoy it. I just need to find out what I need to be a teacher in NJ

Ahhh that would be fantastic, however I just can't swing it into the budget. We bought a bigger house 10 months ago and are still adjusting to the bigger(!) payment. We will be in NY for Christmas though!
