i have to meet with my advisor and figure all that out. my vague plan is do to something RESEMBLING this: go part-time and continue to work full-time (so i can squeeze as many free $800 credits out of BC as possible); if I actually like the work and like my practicum, I'll quit my job, take out a loan, and go full-time for the last semester or two (sadly, paying for credits).
mom & dad offered to help me in SOME WAY if i needed it...if i accept, i guess, i'll wait a couple of years and beg them for rent help or something while i'm teaching full-time (40 hours per week) and PAYING, not GETTING PAID, to do so.
