Whew whee never a dull moment

Started my virtual high school course today. I am spending the next 10 weeks taking an online class sponsored by the Virtual High school that our high school is joining. We will offer online courses for our high school students. The idea is I sign up and become an online high school teacher for VHS and then we get equal number of seats for our students. So in January I will teach a semester course online on How to create Web Pages for high school students form all over the US. I will have say 20 students - we can then enroll 20 of our students in any VHS course they want. A nice trade - kinda.

Of course I have to be a student first and go through this class to teach me how to develop the class I will teach in January. I logged on today as this is the first day of the course (And I always was and still am one of those anal students - lol) Well already just going over a few documents for week one and so far there is over 65 pages to read with about 12 lessons left for week 1 (not kidding) and about 15 assignments to be completed for the first week - um ok - I think I need to jack straight into the computer and never sleep.

See I am also teaching Earth Science for one of the local community colleges (starting in January I will teach another semester of Earth Science and for the other community college teach Historical geology plus my work and all that stuff).

Then I am on the computer a lot because of my day job - I've been handed more and more projects like last night (because the person who was supposed to do this project did not and my boss said she needed this thing like now) so last night I was on making this tri-fold brochure for one of the programs I started (that QUILT questioning program) and I am the director for our national academy foundation academies (we have three - one for the marketing students, one for computer technology which is starting up this year and one for hospitality and tourism).

Well the national NAF office sent out a thing to do a Katrina fund drive the last week of September. I sent the info to the teachers and they were like great let's do it - but thing is who does the details? Who gets the paperwork done? Who sets up the collection points and so on... the director and who got asked (well when your boss "asks you" you do it - lol) to be director? Well the person who has sucker tattooed on her forehead. So meetings with principal, meetings with student council mentor, meetings with teachers, meetings tomorrow with head of a convention center to ask for sponsorship help and such

- man oh man oh man I have to like actually work and think and keep the spacey-ditz to a minimum - and I have to talk a lot in front of people... that is really unnerving and getting to me....

Plus trying to review curriculum for different courses and all this other stuff..... blech I need distractions - lol - actually distractions are the only things that keep me sane as the busy work piles up -

I think that is why I have been in a really bad and depressed mood the last few weeks (well there is another reason and that is just... well never mind that is just a shitty subject) but I have been in a posting/writing mood and such - trying to keep the mind preoccupied and motivated because I am kinda teetering on that sink into unmotivation grey blah

So peoples I know - sorry if I keep bugging you to chat and post and write - um no wait not sorry screw that as I attempt to be assertive (let's see that assertiveness will last for all of five seconds before I sink back into the sure no problem mode - lol) - just tell me - Um hey juls stop bugging me alreadys or even better - oh sure let's chat and post :-P hehe
