The Semester is Coming to an End

I woke up this morning to realize...THE SEMESTER IS ALMOST OVER! I have papers due, case studies to complete, research to and reviews to finish up, and presentations to prepare. This semester has been really weird, unlike first semester. First semester I felt more involved in class and with my work. This semester I feel more involved with my students and with teaching. The classes I have taken this semester are definitely more practice than theory (all practice). For me, theory is more demanding than practice. Teachers have a much easier job than students, but for some reason, I do not feel like I am ready to go into the classroom. Maybe I don't want to go into the classroom.

I am prolonging my time at GSE because I still trying to figure out what to do next. I could have easily taken three classes this summer and written completed my comprehensive portfolio, but that not what I'm doing. I'm spending more loan money, and taking one class in the fall so I will not have to pay for my portfolio class. My uncle just told me he is going back to school to get his PhD in education, so I'm like, "Hmmm, PhD? That sounds like something I could do." Then when he told me he was coming to GSE, I said, "Yes, this is something I will do!" Do I really want to do this? I don't know. I just think it would be interesting for my uncle and I to be in school/class at the same time. We may even graduate at the same time! I would also have to worry about days when I may not be "able to attend class" or days when I "need extra time on an assignment". So, as I finish up this semester, I will also ponder "My Life After RWL".
