GOALS 2012-13

More details to come, but here are my goals for this school year:
BLOG! - 9/20/12 update - Obviously I haven't gotten the hang of this yet.

Organize - 9/20 update - I HAVE created a couple of new folders in Google Drive. In fact, I successful screwed up one of them and now have to go through one folder to get to another. There is more work to be done here.

Common Core/Curriculum - 9/20 update - I'm attending a series of meetings on this throughout the school year. Yay me! 

Balance - the key to life.

Twas the Night Before School...

Susan Weier-McCann (1948-2012)

Actually, the rest of my coworkers started school today.  It was Day 1 of Apple Training.  I was at a funeral for a very dear cousin. Susan was a beautiful soul; she was quiet unless she had something that she needed you to know.  Her life was not always easy and she was no stranger to great loss and sorrow.  However, I think the last several years of her life were quite happy as she traveled extensively.  This is something I did not know until seeing the pictures of her travels at visitation. She was an observer of all around her, and perhaps I would do well to learn a bit of that.  Sometimes I am too quick to speak my mind.  

It is strange to think that school started without me, and I feel a little bit behind already, but I would not have traded the time with family and remembering this beautiful woman for anything in the world.  And let's face it, I would be feeling behind even if I had been at school all summer long!

Middle of the afternoon....End of summer!

I have been participating in a very good tech camp the past couple of days and wrapping my brain around everything that has to be done before school starts.  When this time of year rolls around I always wonder where my summer has gone and why so few items have been checked off of my TO DO list.  All of the grand intentions that I started the summer with have faded, and now panic is beginning to set in.
