I have to decide in a hurry — August 13 is our graduation. I guess one thing to find out, is if they make robes and hoods big enough… I could call in the morning.<\/p>\n
I should explain … I have been working on my master’s degree for a long time. I took my first master’s classes back in 1990. Of course, I didn’t intend to get a degree then, I was working on a post-Bachelor’s degree teaching certification.<\/p>\n
I had decided that I should take a few extra classes and get certified in Math, which has helped in flexibility, especially getting my first teaching job. <\/p>\n
When I finished those classes, my advisor was looking at my transcript and said, “hey, if you take x number of classes and write a thesis, you could have a Master’s in Math”. Well, I took the classes, and couldn’t get going on the thesis.<\/p>\n
A few years later, I got the bright idea of getting my master’s in Computer Science. Unfortunately I switched university’s — I’m not even sure the other one offers a Master’s in CS — and that department wasn’t teacher friendly.<\/p>\n
Then I decided I wanted a technology certification. I could do it with 4 online courses. Better yet, after I signed up for the first two class, the university refunded my tuition. Long story.<\/p>\n
In the middle of the last two classes, I found out I qualified for a program my district was putting on. When I turned in my degree plan, they gave me credit for two classes and I figured out I could finish this August if I took two classes this summer. <\/p>\n
So I’m about done. I hope. I still have an assignment and a paper for one class, and an annotated biography, a “final exam”, and 5 more weeks of discussions.<\/p>\n
My husband says he’ll come watch. I haven’t heard from my mother. I don’t know who else I’d invite. I really don’t know any of the other people who are graduating in August — the group from the district doesn’t finish until this spring.<\/p>\n
Regalia costs $100. So I just don’t know right now, but I need to decide if I’m going to soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
