Going to apply to the Masters Program. Wish me luck!

[MommyRuby2008]

So I was gonna nap while the baby slept.. but now I can't sleep. lol. Started think about school...

So of course my brain started to wander. I have sought out all my options and I have decided to apply for the Early Childhood Masters Program at The University of Kansas. I have a few things to do to prepare.

1. Write a Killer admissions Essay.
2. Order in my Transcripts.
3. Obtain 3 letters of recommendation.
4. Fill out and submit my application and fees.

This program is gonna kick my butt. I haven't been an on campus student in a couple years. KU's ED program is a challenging one. I will have a lot to juggle.

The First Semester would be this fall. I would have to drive to lawrence 3 nights a week for classes that run from 4:30-7pm on Monday, Tues and Thurs. I would have to make arrangements to leave early at work so I could make it on time or I would have to find new employment. Alex would need special arrangements on those nights as well. Then of course there is the homework. The following semester would be the same concept.

That summer and the second fall I would begin my student teaching. This will affect my ability to work at my present job unless I can convince them to work something out. They told me my prior experience is irrelevant and I have to go through their program.

The final semester is my masters thesis stuff.

It will be busy, but in two years I should be able to start teaching my own classroom. :)
