New Class - New Direction

When Carol and I moved to our new house 3 years ago I stopped working on my Masters Degree and let my admission status with the American Military University slip to inactive. In the past 3 years, Carol and I have settled into our new house and have visited Hawaii 3 times, but I have also done a lot of soul searching about what I want to do with the rest of my life.

With Carol's encouragement, I have gone back to an earlier idea about what type of Masters Degree that I wanted to get. Instead of getting a M.A. in History, I am now planning on getting a M.A. in Political Science with a concentration on Comparative Politics. This degree will fuse my passion for politics with my passion for international relations. It will also allow me to teach at the community college level, and teach Dual Credit classes in high school. I have given this a lot of thought and now feel good with this situation. It also helps that all 3 of my History classes have also transferred into my new degree plan.

So on October 6 my new class starts. I am taking a class in Public Policy. This is a short, intense 8 week class so everything should be over before the end of November, so I will be free for the Christmas holidays (and not writing my research paper on Christmas Day)!!
