Hey CP! I was very busy with Griffin's Aristocats play this weekend, up to my ears in, well Cat Ears and makeup!!! But I should make it to the post office in the next day or so!

Congrats to Chelsea for being accepted into the honors program at the school, I am sure she will excel.

BOO for the over the top parent. What a bad role model.

Congrats to Chelsea for getting into the honors program. That is awesome and I'm sure it is well deserved!

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Well, that stinks about those parents' behavior. How RUUUDE!!! (Full House anyone?)

Way to go Chelsea!!!! What a smart girl! I bet it helps to have a mom for a teacher!

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

Congrats to Chelsea!! Great job!

Boo to the rude parents. Unfortunately some of them have to yell & be down right rude. I do not get it. Keep up the good work.

We are also heading to WDW for Star Wars Weekend. I am a bit scared after reading about crowds and such, but I figure my family loves Star Wars so they will love it.

For Chelsea and getting into the honors program.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Congratulations on Chelsea making the honors program.

Don't worry about that yelling parent, unfortunately it is part of coaching sometimes. Think of all the parents that know how to act like adults.

Hi, everyone! I promise to be back soon to do replies and maybe even an update (I have the pictures almost ready for it). Soccer is taking such a huge chunk of time right now, and then this weekend is crammed full of stuff. My SIL turned forty yesterday, so we went to a surprise party for her straight from the soccer game. Today is my MIL's birthday with more celebrating in store. On top of all of that, I am wrestling with trying to decide if it is time to go back for my specialist's degree. Whew! Is it time to head to Disney World yet?

YES, you have a lot going on!!!! But it all sounds fun!

Looking forward to an update when you can!

Specialist's degree, what is that?

Specialist's degree, what is that?

It's the six-year education degree in between the master's and a PhD (which I think is what I really want, but I would want it from Emory which is very expensive). Georgia passed a new law that says unless you are in a degree-seeking program by July of this year, you will no longer be paid for your advanced degrees in teaching. So, it is kind of a now or never feeling for me.

ACK! Wait, so you have a Master's and are looking at getting a PhD, but this is a 6 year program? Girly, go for the PhD... Emory = $ I know that... but if you are making the committment the place is important... would it be close? Fill me in when you can, I know you are busy!!!

Yes, I have a Masters in Reading Education. I guess calling it a six-year degree is a misnomer -- it is only about a year in length but because it comes after the Masters (which I guess some people finish in a year, it is called the six-year degree). Emory is close -- it is only about 45 minutes away from where we are...I am such a school snob -- I could do my PhD with a different university or program but I want to be able to say, "I got my degree from [insert important sounding school here]."

Good morning, Jackie! Have fun at your parties this weekend!

Good luck in making your decision on a school - that would be a hard one, for sure! Maybe if all your DIS friends send $1, you can make it. Count me in for $1!

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

I think you should go for your dreams....get that PHD!

Maybe this short deadline is just the push or nudge you needed?

I wish you well in the decision making process.
