Danny was kind enough to pick up a GRE book for me at the Wordsmith's yesterday and so I've begun studying and I've come to the conclusion that being out of school for so long has me slightly stupid

I thought you already did grad school once - what are you contemplating this time?

[ecureuilvolante]

I'm planning to get certified to teach. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on my mood) the Teaching Additional Languages certification is such that it is an almost MEd by itself so the college closest to me that offers it doesn't offer it separate from the MEd so that's where I am.

I've decided that I'm definitely not continuing with this organization, and I don't really get the feeling that the things I don't like about this work environment would be different at another organization so I'm going back to teaching because I know I like it, I still have quite the fierce interest in curriculum design and implementation styles, I wouldn't be sad if I accidentally did it the rest of my life, and I very much never want to be unemployed again. Also, it's the kind of job that offers the flexibility to work on other projects especially with having summers off.

Why do you have to take the GRE again though... it seems like the first time would be enough?

[ecureuilvolante]

I took the MAT the first time, and that score expired a couple of months ago.

You're pretty.

I have proof

Just remember the MAT practice tests which were WAY HARDER than the actual test.

Perhaps that will hold true for the GRE, for the analogy part anyway.
