Hurrah for learning!

You all probably know that a certain charge of mine is being transferred back to the public schools for his continued learningness. I, of course, have mixed feelings about this, but the child has proven incredibly capable so far. It's really exciting to watch him interact with and want to act like the other kids. It's also exciting to see him demonstrate all the impressive skills that we've taught him and prove to everyone how smart he is. So, while I wish I could keep him forever, I'm proud and happy for him. I'll miss him more than I can possibly even describe, though.

In other learning news: I am going back to grad school! I took a course this fall and I will be enrolled as of this spring in a Masters of Behavioral Education program. When I'm done, I'll take a test and be a BOARD CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR ANALYST. Then I'll go around analyzing your behavior, and you'll have to like it cause I'll be CERTIFIED. I'm excited about it. I put it off for awhile because I was afraid I'd be doing it just because I happen to be in my current job and everyone else was doing it. I didn't want to fall under the sway of Graduate School Peer Pressure. But, as with Babysitters Clubs books, I eventually came around.

I am super-excited for PA and vacation. I've procured some pretty decent presents for people, especially Connor. Don't tell him! I could probably tell you what it is, since he never reads this. Actually, no one reads this. I could reveal my secret fears. BEETS! Everyone knew that though.

The Celtics are AMAZING. I'm telling myself I'm not a fairweather friend for only starting to like them this year, since I decided to like them AS SOON as they acquired Garnett and I've loved him for years. Perhaps I'm rationalizing, but nonetheless. They're pretty friggin' awesome. It's good to live in Boston right now. Sorry "other cities."
