When Chris and I returned from Prescott late Sunday evening, one of the first things we did was go through the mail. There was a letter from NAU's College of Education. This news excited me, because I had yet to hear from the C & I doctoral department regarding my admission to their program. I was denied!
I was more shcoked than anything about this, because I thought I had so much going for me. After all, I had a 4.0 during my master's career, and I graduated with academic distinction. I AM diversity; everything about me is reflective of that fact. Duh! I did average on most of the GRE, and better than average on the math portion of it. I have several years of teaching experience. And, to top it off, I had AMAZING letters of rec. -- two professors who are both NAU C & I graduates; one principal; one department leader; and a fellow teacher.
What more could they want?!?
My mom said it was probably a sign that I should take some time off. But, she has to say that, because she's my mom. Who knows? Maybe she's right.
So, now I'm going to PROBABLY apply to another program. I know that most people who want to become doctors apply to more than one program, but I was just so sure that I'd be accepted to NAU. After all, it's not Harvard!
Do you know what they say happens when you assume?!?
Well, I do. You make an ass out of you and me!
So, now I feel like I have to change the title and address of my blog. But, the question remains...what should I change it to?!?!
Feel free to give me your suggestions:)

I am sorry about not getting in. You could change your title to "Denied". Just kidding.
Hmmmm
You could change it to:
thoughts from an educator
amoureux de danse (lover of dance)
reina del baile (dancing queen)
...to name a few
Thanks for the siggestions:) I'll call you tomorrow, because we don't have school:) Tuesdays and Thursdays are horrible for me now, because I don't get done with class until 10 PM, and I only have a 2 hour break in my day. Ugh.
