Even more behind

So this semester turns out to be much more stressful than last semester. I forgot how time consuming getting FBLA students ready for District and State competition is. (IT'S EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING)
Was it worth it? Yes, even though my grade in this course has plummeted my students did very well at districts, placing 3rd overall (after placing close to last last year) behind the biggest school in the state and another school our size that has won for who knows how many years.

At the same time I spent many many hours working on an Enhancement Grant for my classroom...trying to get iMac's in my classroom next year along with a much bigger smartboard, digital cameras and video cameras, and more. All that work might have been for nothing as even if I do receive most of the money the school district might not let me spend that much (even for items we only have to pay 25% of the cost)....uggghhhh...and I chose to work on that grant multiple days instead of completing my work for this class.

Was it the right thing to do? I don't know if I can answer that question until this coming September (after I find out about the grant and I have my final grade for this class).
Either way what's done is done. All I can do is finish the work, beg for forgiveness (and some points), and get my work done on time in the future.
