Okay, I have one more class left until I am finished with the degree I have been working on, but I MUST have this degree. Around 1999, I started looking for a children’s lit degree. There was one that was available somewhere in the east or south and it was only during the summer and you had to live there during the summer. Sean was not real hip on the idea of his new wife being gone for the entire summer for two or three summers in a row. I looked into a librarian degree…I figured that would be close but it’s not. You have to take all kinds of classes to be a librarian that were not relevant to what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a school librarian, but there are many different types of librarians (like a law librarian, for example) so you have to take classes so that you can be any type of librarian when you graduate. I guess that is how I got into the reading specialist program. It had to do with reading and kids, but it still wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. This program, is, however. I am going to call them on Monday and see how it works and if I could do it from home or with a minimal amount of driving. I looked on their website and it isn’t part of their distance learning program (not a good sign). Maybe I could even use some of the classes I took for the first master’s degree and apply them to this one. That would be nice. (Oh, by the way, I haven’t talked to Sean about this yet. So, honey, if you are reading this and we haven’t talked about it yet, we have something to talk about.)
I MUST have this Degree
