There has been a slight change to my graduation date. Sadly, I won't be graduating this year (which also means that I won't be completing all my goals this year). It's bittersweet, and here is why:
California has once again suspended applications for spring admissions. This was my plan. I was going to graduate in December with my BS, and start the Teacher's Credential program in January. The spring admission suspension effects all parts of the school, including graduate students.
Luckily, the person in the Elementary Education department was super nice and helpful. She told me about the Elementary Education minor, which allows a student to take four credential classes as an undergraduate, which later obviously count toward the credential. Since I didn't want to waste the spring semester doing nothing, I knew this was the best opportunity. I talked to the head of the Elementary Education department and she accepted me into the minor program. I then had to pay the school $10 to change my graduation date (don't even get me started on this!).
So now, I'll be graduating in May with a degree in Liberal Studies Multiple Subject Preparation for Teachers and a minor in Elementary Education. I'll be hopefully starting the credential program in the summer. In summer of 2014 I will finally be done with all schooling and will be able to become a teacher!
I. Can't. Wait.
