So last night was the first night of school for me. I am very excited to start another year and also to know that this is my final year. I never thought the day would come when I would actually be finishing my degree. This will be year 10 of going to school and I am extremely excited that it is the last one (Well, at least the last one for my bachelor's degree). I will still have 1 more year to get my teaching credential, but that is a completely different program so I don't count it as time until I am done. :)
I decided that I wasn't going to stress myself out this year so I am only taking 3 classes this semester and most likely 3 next semester as well. One of my 3 classes this semester is an independent study class where I have to write a 30 page senior thesis. I have decided to do my paper on the impact of high-stakes testing in the math classroom and how instruction is affected. It is a bit overwhelming right now, but I am feeling better and better about it each step I take. I am also taking a pre requisite course for the credential program about Content Area Literacy in Secondary Education and a Senior Seminar class that incorporates Literature and Science. It looks like it might actually be a bit interesting. We will see, since I have that class tongiht.
Wish me luck! :)

Ashley! I read your blog all the time - even have you on my google reader. I've just been a silent stalker!:) Of course I'll invite you...but I need an e-mail address! Click on my profile & you can e-mail me. You're right, G. probably would be mad - he's always adored 'little Ashley'. Good luck in school - a teacher, whoa!
Oh, I changed Megen's name on my blog, too...:)
Good luck Ashley!
