Apply, Emily! You love your field. Unless you don't anymore.
I do love my field, you're right. Part of my hesitation is due to the fact that I love the department I'm in now, even though I don't feel I'm the best teacher for the job.
Would that take care of the certification problems you were having? Am I remembering that anywhere close to right?
It would pretty much take care of the problems -- I'd need to take a couple tests, but that's no big.
Man, I don't know. I'll probably put something about it in my lj when I get home. I'm so torn!
Lots of ~ma Beverly's way.
My officemate today was musing on why it's so "trendy" to be an oppressed minority. He says that everyone is claiming to be oppressed.

Oh, well, think of all the benefits.
Hold on, I'm still thinking...

Ooh! Ooh! Where does the line to oppress him begin?
He says that, since he's Irish/German/Italian/Catholic, he would have been in "some of the most oppressed groups" at various points in US history.

Yeah, that's at least two squares on the racism bingo card.

Sounds like CJ is going through the normal stuff. Teenagers sleep harder in the AM. Have another friend that was complaining about it. Sadly, earlier bed time doesn't help -- they might not sleep early ( I didn't). So -- I recommend what everyone else said -- get everything ready at night - even if it means staying up a little later. And then tell CJ that missing school is not an option. Then -- figure out what the best way to get him up is. Alarm across the room -- mom yelling -- mom turning on the lights in his room -- dog or cat on the bed.
In my case dad woke me up by opening the door sying get up - turning on the light -- and making me talk. Mom put the dog in my bed and sang. None of it was fun, but if CJ helps you figure it out then maybe he'll figure out how to get dressed and eat breakfast while still asleep faster than I did.
Sub Italian for Czech, and paint me as on oppressed group. Chalk up the disability for modern oppression, and give me a ticket to the head of the line.
