少し久しぶりの。。。

ここのところ仕事が忙しかったり、大学入学の事や英語の事などで頭がいっぱいだったりしたので、なかなか副業の縫い物まで手が回らなかったのですが、久しぶりに作りました。
I was busy working, thinking about the university courses, studying English, etc... I feel like I was away from sewing for a while but...

今回はカメラケース。
finally a new arrival, a camera case.

小さいものは縫うのが大変ですが、大きい物を作った後の切れ端を使えるので、節約になります。
It's really hard to sew something this small but it's kind of good for me because I can use the scraps from the big bags.

Next step 2

As I said in the last post, I might be able to get a Masters degree and also get a RAD certificate at the same time.
前回のブログで少し書いたように、もしかしたらマスターズディグリー（日本では大学院卒と同じだと思います。）とRADの資格を同時にとれるかもしれません。

BUT!
が、

Before I start the process there is a huge wall in front of me called "IELTS (International English Language Testing System)."
そのプログラムを開始する前にIELTSという大きな壁が立ちはだかっています。

I will need 7.0 to get in the program.
Usually universities require 6.5, but because this program is for a Masters degree they need more than that...
普通大学に入学するには６．５が必要なのですが、このプログラムでは院に入学することになるので７．０取らないといけないそうです。

So even though they are still accepting late applications I have decided to study for IELTS for a while and get 7.0, and then apply for the program next year.
入学申込みをまだ受け付けているそうですが、しばらくはIELTSのために勉強して、次の９月にスタートすることにします。

For starters, I bought this book to get used to reading in English.
まずは、英語での読書にもっと慣れるために、この本を購入しました。

Master of Russian Ballet

 I will write a review about this book when I finish reading it.
読み終わったらレビューを書きます。

Next step

My students are in Fargo for a competition so I had a very quiet Saturday today.

I did my Cecchetti Diploma last summer (I can't believe it's been almost a year!!) and did Associate Diploma this spring.

The next step will be Licentiate but I have to teach at least 2 more years to apply for that.

Because I will have nothing to do for 2 years, (although it might take 1 year to prepare for the Licentiate exam) I wanted to do something other than ballet to make my career stronger, things like National dance, Benesh notation, Education degree, etc.

But as long as I'm living in Winnipeg, there is a huge limitation on what I can do.

I felt stuck :(

And then I remembered that RAD have long distance courses. I might do it!

There might be a perfect course for me and if I read the information correctly, I might be able to get a Masters degree skipping a Bachelor degree!

I will write more when I'm sure.

Now I feel alive!! :)
