I got an A! I got my grade report for my course yesterday, but got to read it today (because I paid an extra $50 to get it done fast). Whoo hoo! All that hard work paid off! Yeah, procrastinating pays. not really.
So a few days ago, I got a letter from my friends at the Vermont Department of Education telling me, sorry, but you're too late and we won't accept your license renewal paperwork. I had emailed them prior telling them my situation- that I got an extension until August 11 (when the dept of ed wanted my grades by). I didn't get a response, so I finished my course and paid the extra money to have my grades looked at quickly so I could send it to the lovely pencil pushers in Montpelier. Right after I completed my course and was awaiting the results, I get the letter. Crushed. Angry. Bitter. No, not the lemonade ingredients. So AHA today I emailed the woman at the Dept of Ed and gave her my grades "regardless" (just in case) and told her that if I needed to go through the wonderful (yes, that is the sarcastic word I chose) relicensing process again, if they could tell me exactly what I needed to do. If I needed to start from square one and take another professional development course (i.e. a master's course) or not. I ended with a nice "Thank you for your time and I hope you are enjoying the beautiful sunshine today" (that was an honest statement, not sarcastic). So I await with baited breath AGAIN for the lovely pencil pushing paper filers in the wonderful capital city. Blah.
On another note, I finally went to the local library tonight and picked up some books I've been wanting to read. No, I did not get the "Fifty Shades of Grey"... I'm not that kind of girl.... I wanted to finish "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" series with the last book "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest". I also wanted to pick up a book or two by Vermont author Archer Mayor who writes detective novels set here in Vermont. What got me interested in him is the last time I gave blood, one of the giveaways was for a chance to be a character in his next book. How cool is that??? I have started enjoying mysteries more and more and hope to enjoy these.
Other than working at the park, making dill pickles on my days off (yumo!) not much else is going on with me. Hope all is well with you wherever you are!
