One day, I will get a job.

My prince already came, so now I need to figure out my career.  If you know me, you know I've had about 4,587 career goals since graduating.  I strongly believe there are two groups of people who graduate from college: those who go on to real jobs or graduate school, and those who wander around here and there for a while looking for the next step.  Guess which group I'm in?  Actually, I wouldn't trade it for anything, because I got to meet so many great people in my random jobs AND go to the Dominican Republic.  These are things I never would have had the chance to do had I buckled down and become a grownup. 

Anyway, I finally decided what to do with myself.  I'm going to be a teacher!  I know...big surprise.  For some reason, I avoided the teaching profession because it seemed cliche.  That doesn't make any sense, I know.   

I applied to an alternative certification program and was accepted!  Hopefully, by the end of the whole process, I will be certified to teach EC-6 bilingual and Spanish to all grades.  This means I need to pass my Spanish content exams!  Estoy un poco nerviosa.  Please be praying for that.

When all is said and done, I should be working on my first-year teaching internship by August!  Yipee!  Until then, I'm doing some babysitting and such...  It's all very exciting.  Now, if none of this works out and I fail everything, please don't refer me back to this post where I pronounced to the world (or my 3 readers) my job goals. K thanks!
