I'm an athabasca student who will be returning on Jan.2013 and currently working two part-time jobs and have not heard match from  Au during my academic restriction this past year.  I can return to studies by January next year and finsh my degre in two years studying all year long.  My plan is to get my tesl or tesol certificate to be able to teach overseas when my fathers is not with us anymore.  He's getting stronger and I think he has two years of good life left.   I take care of him four days a weeek and work a second part-time helping an old lady. 

Though I have some worries about working two jobs while going back to finish my degree by the next two years, without a break, its got to be done as I'm working on a second career trying to qualify as an esl teacher overseas.

Replies would be welcome and its a great way to start this new discussion group I hope.
