Well, John is almost done with school, so it is time to make a new five year plan. (For the record, our previous one only took about 2 extra years, and has only experienced "slight" revisions).
After Collin was born, I decided I wanted to go back to school, earn a bachelor's degree in Biology, and go to Dental School. Well, I did earn my degree, but my undergraduate GPA is in the "questionable" range (O-Chem + 3 kids 3 and under = GPA suicide), and I am not confident in my chances of gaining admission. For now, dental school is shelved. I am reviewing for the DAT, but am also persuing plans B and C. Plan B is my masters program in Biology and Plan C is teaching high school Biology. My revised goal is finishing my alternative certification and teaching high school Biology for 5 years (Why, you ask? 5 year Loan Forgiveness programs, that's why!!) as well as finish my masters in Biology. A masters degree will enable me to teach at a junior college (older students + no research committment = Happy ME!). If I make it through my masters program with a 4.0- so far, so good!- I will revisit the dental school option. But for now, I'm thinking I'll teach.

Some of my favorite quotes:
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. -Erma Bombeck
