A bit nervous

[eveglass]

Today I'm being observed by a senior teacher from our school. I'm sure I'll do okay, but I'm a bit nervous regardless. I mean, I've wanted someone to observe my teaching for a while to give me tips, but it's still disconcerting to know that someone's looking over your metaphorical shoulder taking notes on your performance for an hour and a half.

Also, I've been thinking more about the whole accounting thing, and I have yet to make up my mind on whether I want to persue it. Tomorrow night there's a meeting at YES (Youth Employment Services) that's pretty much an "introduction to finance and accounting careers," which I will be attending. I figure that I'll go to that, speak to a few people who have offered to help (Liz and Owen, I haven't forgotten you, I promise!), and decide after that. I must keep reminding myself that I have more options than 1) do 5 years of accounting to get my professional designation, and 2) don't do it at all. As always, my brain ignores the middle ground of "start, and stop if it really doesn't interest you."

Ah well. At least I slept last night. Now, time to get dressed and head out.

have you looked into the masters in business administration at the john molson school of business? i was researching it a while back and it looked very interesting - the possibility for both making money and being faced with new challenges that require creative solutions might be appealing to you.

As far as I understand these things (and I may, of course, be wrong), you need 2 years of full-time business experience before doing an M.B.A. I don't have that. At most, I've got about 6 months of full-time experience and about 15 of very part-time experience.

It might be interesting, but I'm not sure I could get into the program...

As well, there is the option of, if you are not willing to go back to school for another 5 years, to go get a trade degree in accounting for a year, which will teach a large amount of the basics. If you need any more info on that option, talk to me. I know it all first hand.

Hm... fair enough. What schools offer that degree?
