so, latest plan, but it will be planned out better than the going back for a few courses idea, is to get my masters in exceptional learners. If my calculations are correct (and I'm getting them checked too) I should only have to take 9 courses to get my masters, since I have undergrad classes that are equivalent to some grad courses. I'll check and see if I can do it in a year, and if nothing else comes up for the fall, I may just do it. Then I can be Sarah Smith, BA, BEd, MEd. Nice. I'd be happy just to be Miss Smith for now though, hehe.
It'll come...
Anyway, just a quick update cause I've been slack the past few days.

editor's note: I will have to take the same number of courses, which right now stands at 12, but is most likely being reduced to 10, which is do-able in one year. now I have to see if all 5 (not 8, I already have 3) required courses will be offered this coming year. if not, eff it!
