Change of Major

So I have decided to change my major.. I know many will say this wont be the first time.. but I think this is a calling for me.. and it feels like I am definitely more driven in this area than Physical Therapy. What is it you might ask? Well to begin with I'll describe something my exmb prof spoke on in class last Thursday: he said that since physical education is mandatory in schools--or will become so very soon--there is going to be an even bigger need for PE teachers. And so there you have it, my chosen field of study is a PE teacher. The prospects are very high as soon as I graduate with my MIT (masters in teaching--from Washington, of course) and there is also a teaching degree for graduate degree in New Zealand if I felt the need. But that would be an extra year, I would then be certified to teach in 2 countries.. I get ahead of myself... baby steps for Whitney.

Met with my math professor yesterday to discuss basic fractions and set up more meetings. Next on is on Monday at 3!! I would need to get a B on most of my exams to bring it up to a high C and an A on the next 2 tests with a B on the final for an overall B.... daunting. Anyway.. not really having the best of weeks currently ... I have been working at the athletic center till 9 the last 3 nights. ugh.. I'm pooped. I'm gonna stay in and watch a movie by myself and mellow out!

I cannot wait till the Halloween party. And I need a pumpkin to carve!! I shall do that on Sunday 26th :) be prepared mom I'm gettin' pumpkins!!

I love...

Sounds like a plan Whit. I personally love your major switch, but I would support you in anything. Yeah, I wish that I could stay in tonight, but my tennis coach is making the team go to the homecoming bonfire (its homecoming week). So, I will go to the bonfire for like fifteen minutes and then leave and just chill...got lots of homework to look forward to (being facetious here). I am sorry you had a bad week, but count on it, it will get better, easier, more fun. Love you too

Whitney my love...I cannot wait to see you next weekend...definietly yes to the pumpkins...maybe we can go to Fall City Farms for one...if you like. This first year or two is for making decisions about what you want to do in life...I like your idea about being a PE teacher, you are wonderful with kids and you love athletics and are good at it. I love you very much! Momma
