Well I’ve taken steps to register for my master’s classes again. I talked to the NJ DOE; they said if I complete the college program and then apply for liscensure I could get my standard certificate because I’ve already been a provisional teacher for six years. So I would have to finish the program first and then apply for jobs, which was my plan anyway. I’m waiting to hear from my program advisor re: which classes I need to sign up for. I’m hoping the failed class won’t prohibit me from registering. I might end up in academic probation which is fine because when I’m mentally stable I get A’s in everything so I’ll be fine.

I’m also checking out apartments. I have been for awhile. I can’t aftord one on my own but RS and I have talked about moving in together in a few months. He wants to buy a house but we’d need about 15k for down payment and closing costs so we wouldn’t be able to buy a house for a long time. I’m hoping he will agree to an apartment while we save up. I really hate living with my mom. She’s starting to get on my nerves again. She’s been helpful while I’ve been laid up but not nearly as much as she could be. She just leaves the trash overflowing, knowing I can’t take it out. She also waits to clean the litter box until it’s stinking up the whole house; again, I can’t do it right now because I’m not supposed to be lifting. I don’t know. She’s just overall annoying. I’d rather live with RS on my own than have him move in here while we save for a house.

It’s all a waiting game. I can’t get a better paying job until I finish school. I can’t get an apartment until the summertime anyway because I don’t want my son to have to switch schools so close to the end of the year.

Ah well. At least I’m moving forward.
