I have officially moved out of the middle east! I am wondering what I should call my blog now, I guess I could just take away the "Middle East". For my next adventure I will be a college student again. I am enrolled in a program called Fast Train at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. I am working towards earning a teaching certificate. I have to take 5 weeks of classes this summer and next summer, several online courses, do lots of observations, take a few tests, teach abroad for one more school year and voila I have a teaching certificate. It is an international program so I have to teach elementary education for a year in a foreign country (which one I don't know yet). I just arrived on campus yesterday and am living in a dorm type setup. I have my own room, there is a full kitchen and I have 2 other roommates as of now. Brian is not with me, we will meet up in August when I am finished here. It feels incredibly strange living with strangers and being a full time student again. However, I am excited to start classes Monday and think this program is perfect for me. I don't have the attention span to take classes part time for 3 years to earn this certificate. I have been teaching for years already and just want to get in and out as quickly as possible. Luckily I have a few days to get over my jet leg because 9 credits in 5 weeks is pretty intense. Wish me luck!!
