28--I smell bacon!

Yes Geoff, I do have unoriginal blog titles. I use to name them according to the entry subject, but to make things easier for you and me, I decided to use integers.
I am very excited to eat a nice brunch in about six hours; I am hungry and very exhausted. I could use some good 'ol cookin' right about now. Burning the wick from both ends to get semester projects and assignments done is not the way to go. I prefer the "get it done on time and the right way the first time" idea, but it seems to just be an idea at this point. Anyway, as I sit here thinking about this semester and all the things that I have learned and accomplished, I ask myself if I really want to be a teacher. I ask myself if I am in this major because I like to have hands-on classes, including wood shop, or if it is because I have no other idea for major--come to think of it, I am not so sure anymore. Maybe it's just because I am tired, but even though I love this major's courses and that is helping me to like school again, I seem to doubt what I am suppose to do in life. I still feel that I am suppose to be a teacher, and I want to be one, but the issue of lower paid wages and demand for continued education (for potential salary growth) haunts me. I just want what is best for my family. Maybe money isn't everything. Maybe being happy with my occupation and my life is what my family needs the most from me. No one wants a grumpy head of the house. So, I have concluded that this semester's learning has helped push me to want to be a technology teacher. Because of this class, I can now see why that position is important to have and why it is good for me.
