Got It!

After a very tiring day at work, something good came up. Another answered prayer :D

The results of my assessment in AEI - NOOSR were mailed today and both applications yielded positive results. Both my Bachelor and Master's degree were considered comparable to an Australian Bachelor and Master's degree. Weeeee! :D

I actually applied for an assessment since I am planning (with hubby's blessing, of course) to go back to school and pursue another Master's degree that will allow me to practice teaching here, full-time. Once I do my application with my chosen University, I will be needing these results to apply for advanced standing. Advanced standing allows me to be exempted from taking up subjects in the course I have chosen to pursue, that I have already taken before in my other degrees. This will hopefully shorten the length of time for me to finish this additional degree. I will be formally applying this August for Term1 of next year. I have decided to choose the University that offers it on-line. It is much more family-friendly and more convenient. I am starting on Term 1 so I can apply for the government assistance that will help us finance my studies. It is just too expensive if I am to be a full-paying student.

The past days though, I have found myself thinking if I am up for the challenge. You see the past few weeks (months), I have been really busy with casual work. Not a week passes that I don't get calls for substitution. I am tired but I am thankful. This will be another story. I am just probably preparing myself for this big challenge. But for now, I will just celebrate for another concern was ticked off from the list :D
