I&#8217;m applying for a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction and getting my Professional Certificate. I&#8217;m excited to be headed back to the classroom, and am looking forward to learning how to be a better teacher. I&#8217;m NOT looking forward to the time commitment (I know, grow up), or the time it will take away from my time with Tom. He&#8217;s thinking about taking a mountaineering class though, and I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll just figure out new ways to make time for each other. We both agree, however, that this is the best time for me to pursue my Masters, as we&#8217;re thinking about kids in the next few years, and pregnancy+infants+grad school sounds like a quick trip to crazy town. I&#8217;m a little nervous, but still ready to take this next step to help further my career. <\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 215px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 65px; CURSOR: hand\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399671554695843458\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_WHdYiHvyoos\/Su98q5ltToI\/AAAAAAAAAF4\/U2AB0rZBTeI\/s400\/logo_su_header.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 282px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 65px; CURSOR: hand\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399671563161996770\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_WHdYiHvyoos\/Su98rZIMjeI\/AAAAAAAAAGA\/jhBJuXeo_88\/s400\/SPU-home-logo.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<div>I&#8217;m applying to both Seattle Pacific University and Seattle University.
