I received my acceptance letter for the Bachelor of Education program I applied to in January.  To say I’m “happy” is an understatment!  There were over 600 applicants to the program this year and they only accept 65-75 students.  I am so thrilled and shocked, that I don’t think reality has set in yet.  At 36 years of age, I’ll be heading back to university and I couldn’t be more excited.  Since leaving my full time job in December, the last few months have been a whirl wind.  I have been “guest” teaching or substitute teaching the last few weeks and I absolutely love it.  The B.Ed program is at a local university so my travel time will be only 45 minutes one way.  I travelled the same route for 3 years while I worked at a call centre, so the drive does not bother me at all.  I’m sure I could do it with my eyes closed.

So now, I’m officially on the journey I’ve always dreamed of.  I have been wanting to apply to this particular program for years and did apply a few years back.  I was even called for an interview, but I declined because the time just wasn’t right.  I guess everything happens for a reason.  I am one very lucky girl and don’t think for a minute I’m not thankful!!!
