Well, the real world does suck indeed. It isn't that bad, however I realize that this is going to be a rough semester since I am going to have to come up with lesson plans every day basically. I'm hoping that I will be able to get ahead, however I don't know when I will be able to since I have tournaments and stuff coming up. The other problem is that I keep having business to take care of in ATL but don't leave school until after 4:30 because I am working on stuff. I need to go pickup a transcript and deposit checks but I don't have the time.
The other strange thing, that I have solidified in my research, is that Cobb county has me in a certification program that last two years, then drops me off with an IT (don't ask because I don't know what that means), which is close to a teaching certificate. But this is in TWO YEARS. The program at GSU, lasts 4 semesters (two summer one school year), gives me a teaching certificate, a fucking masters degree (pushing me up to two, details later) and is easier to get to than Cobb county for fucking coursework shit. The only downside is that their program has the teacher go a middle school in the fall and a high school (of which Harrison is one of the schools they mentioned) in the spring. So if worse comes to worse I will have to leave Harrison in the fall to go to a middle school. Kind of silly, but I get another fucking masters. That has to be worth it. The issue is getting Cobb county to say that they will accept me doing that instead of whatever the fuck flew out of their ass.
In other news, I got word back from my prof about the U that was on my transcript. He said it should be a C, and that he doesn't know what is up. So I got him to admit that I should pass, which means that since I ahve the email that says that this course will finish my requirements, all I should have to do is fill out paperwork and get my masters. That pushes my salary up another 5 grad (but not until next year). Sweet. After 8 years my coursework at Tech might finally be over.
Lastly, I think the people at Harrison are looking for an assistant track coach that specializes in the sprints. I can't take the position now because I am too swamped, but it might help me out down the road when I have my shit together more. Word.
