Oh Happy Day of Realizations!

After reviewing the subjects for the 3 state tests I need to take, I've decided to TAKE ALL THREE EXAMS over the course of the next 30 days!

I have finished studying for the Prof. Ed exam, just need to brush up on a few items, so I'm scheduling that for this coming Monday Dec. 7!!!

I've finished all studying for the Gen. Knowl. Exam (which is 4 subtests: Essay, Engl Lang Arts, Reading, Math) except for math.  I'll finish math, take the sample test, and then study the areas I need to strengthen, to take this exam on Dec. 17, 10 days after first exam.

Finally, my Subject Area exam: (Elem Educ K-6th gr.) which is also 4 subtests but has the greatest amount of material to know, I will take last, on either Dec 29 or 5, which is 11-18 days after test #2.  This will give me all of Xmas break to learn everything you have to teach Elem. students: English Language Arts, Social Sciences, Science, and Math.

I will then be FINISHED WITH EVERYTHING I NEED TO COMPLETE  to earn my Florida Teaching Cert. and I will be a "real" teacher with MANY JOB OPTIONS.  

Since I'll be on a roll, if I'm in for more self-flagellation, I will also take Biology and Physics subject exams, this is to make me more marketable and because I want to teach science!

Finishing all three required exams by January will put me out on the market and I will once again be free to live where I want and do what I have set out to do, and finally, have accomplished this goal!  I will be qualified for a $50K per year teaching post in Abu Dhabi with tax free salary, free accommodations and more, or pretty much anywhere in the world that I would like to live and teach: Caribbean, Asia, Europe, South America... ANYWHERE!  

I didn't realize I was this close and capable of finally realizing this goal!  Yay!  I have hope again!  I can stick it out with subbing for the remainder of the school year, because come February, I CAN WORK AND LIVE ANY DAMN WHERE I PLEASE!!!

HALLEFREAKINLOOLYUH!!!
