Classes, classes, and more classes!

March 11th...In 11 weeks, school will be much different for me! Since school is the main thing taking up my time these days, I've decided to blog about it! How interesting, right?!?!

This is week one of the 11 weeks of craziness! I am currently at Liberty University for an intensive class on Consultation, Collaboration, and Referral as it pertains to school counseling. Because my master's is in Professional Counseling, I could not obtain a license in school counseling. I am working towards my LPC in Virginia; however, to be a school counselor, you apparently need education classes in addition to the counseling classes. So...here I am! Once I am within nine credits of this educational specialist degree, I will be able to reapply for the school counseling license. It is my goal to be within the nine credits by March 11th...hence the craziness of 15 credits in 11 weeks!

During intensives, you come to class from 9:00-5:00 each day and turn in work after the class. This is my second day in this class but it isn't that bad. You knock out three credits in about a month's time with prework, the one week of intensive class, and the postwork. I'm looking forward to the day that I can hold that school counseling license in my hand:)
