Reading, Reading, and More Reading.

Today I have been catching up on reading what is required for tonight's online class. I have also been listening to supplementary web presentations, which are wonderful because they allow me to do other tasks at the same time—like load the dishwasher. I hope I can get the work done by tonight. I find that it is harder to read when I am under pressure. My mind keeps wandering—What should we have for dinner? Does Grace have drama tonight? Is it OK to wear my pajamas all day?—and then I have to go back and reread. One issue that has been on my mind today is the possibility of taking two additional courses this summer that would make me eligible for add-on certification in reading. Of course, that also means more work—ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I am considering this option for two reasons: 1) I may not be able to secure a position as a media specialist for the fall and this would give me another option. 2) More education in literacy is always a good thing and it would certainly benefit me when I do become a media specialist. Truthfully, I do enjoy learning, just for learning's sake. I will need to scrape up the money to take the courses. Scraping up money is something that I have NOT learned how to do.
