This is slightly off topic when taking the previous posts into consideration, but I am quite excited and my giddiness in taking precedent at the moment. I just found out a couple of hours ago that I passed the History portion of the MTEL examination. For those of you who do not know, the acronym, MTEL, stands for Massachusetts Tests for Educator Licensure. I took and passed my general exam which all hopeful teachers take a few months ago, but had yet to sit for my subject matter test. One of the reasons why I am most excited to find out that I passed is the Fall is going to be quite a crazy time. I am student teaching at Boston Lation School from September to December, taking the last two courses of my Masters and working part-time as the after school coordinator at the Maimonides School in Brookline. All this will be going on as Matt and I try to finish planning a wedding, figure out our plans for the future and prepare for Christmas and New Year's in the UK.
It's all wonderful though, both Matt and I find we do our best work when we are busy and 2009 has been quite a year, so I say - bring it on! Well, maybe I will take advantage of the last couple weeks of summer first and my time living as a lady of leisure first. Off to celebrate at Lala Rokh in Beacon Hill - Persian food sounds like a good way to celebrate!
Congrats Corinne! The MTELs are a terrible and boring test. I had to take them as well earlier this year. Glad its over!
