Already behind

Haven't had a good start to the semester so far. A combination of basketball, preparing for FBLA contest, and teaching has left me little time to focus on doing my graduate work. There have been a couple times this past week where I had a choice to work for a couple hours or get some rest, and I chose to rest. As far as grades are concerned, probably the wrong choice. As far as my sanity is concerned, the right choice.

Thankfully my basketball season ends this coming Saturday so I'll have more time to focus on graduate work and planning a wedding.

So far I've liked the work we've been doing in this course. Though I hardly ever use Powerpoint in my classroom (when doing notes I use Smart Notebook), I taught Advanced Computer Applications last year and know everything I want to about the Office Suite. I think the reason only reason I still don't have the Powerpoint presentation complete is my need to make it as perfect as I can. I spent way too much time trying to determine what color border to put around the presentation in the slide master. Why? Because I was being too picky.

I'll get it done in the next hour and figure out what's due this week and hopefully turn it in on time...and keep turning in assignments on time.

  1. Good luck with competition! FCCLA's was last week. So glad it's over for now. I had 8 teams compete and 2 advance to state. Are you doing anything special for CTO week? My group has something planned every night this week so I hear you about needing rest. Hang in there!
