Well, my mental health day went very well. I was able to register Ella for Kinder and a swim class which she started yesterday. I also did a little bit of shopping for myself. Overall it was a much needed day of taking care of business.
At work on Friday I was approached by one of my bosses (there are like 5+ administrators at my school). The conversation went like this:
Boss: Norma (head, head honcho) would like you to sign up for a class this spring, since you were planning on taking a class during the summer.
Me: When is the class and when does it start?
Boss: It's on Tuesday nights from 4 to 6:20. Classes start March 21st.
Me: I will have to check with my husband to see if he can come home early to watch Ella.
Boss: Okay, we need to register you soon, so let me know early next week.
So, basically I felt very pressured to sign up for this class. I was planning on going back to school during the summer and I felt very good about that because I knew that I could handle the work load. I'm going to eventually earn my "gifted certificate." One of the benefits of working for the University of Denver is that I get free tuition. So, I definitely wanted to take advantage, but I don't really feel mentally prepared yet. However, if Norma wants you to do something, you do it. So, after talking to Whit, I'm going to be taking that spring class. It actually should be interesting because it's going to be focused on identifying gifted learners.
So, back to school I go. Less than a year after I swore off school forever after finishing the clear credential program.
