OK - So I'm a little behind. But I have good excuses.
1. I really don't have anything to blog about.
2. The week on Sat. 1/16 - F 1/23 I worked for the Close Up Foundation in Washington, DC, leading kids from across the U.S. (AK, CA, TX, GA and NY to be exact, that was at my hotel anyway), using DC as the classroom and the Inauguration as the backdrop. It was amazing! Yes, I was one out of every 150 Americans to attend. There is an article in the Chaska Herald about it dated 1/22 if you want to read about it.
3. Last week was the start of the new term with new students. Enough said.
4. I don't have my own classroom this year, so I'm in a different room different hours. I'm like a chicken w/my head cut off.
5. I started working full time last week (prior I was .63).
6. I am now Dept. Head for the SS Dept. because I wasn't at a mtg. to say "not it!". I'm finding myself in the middle of a lot of conversations where a lot of major changes are happening in the district. It is a lot of little stuff (e.g. finalizing the Registration Guide like I had to be working on during last class, ordering equal materials for both schools) that is trivial and time consuming.
7. I'm trying to be a good student; I'm sorry I'm not. But I'm trying :)

I really enjoyed reading your blog entry. It's always inspiring to see someone keeping their sense of humor while dealing with so many sources of stress! I look forward to your future blogs to see how you're doing!
I'd love to hear more about your experience in DC!
Lucky you to be in DC--I *almost* wished to be on the Mall, but I have been in lesser crowds there--July 4, for example--and that is not for me!! Would love to hear more about the experience.
You sound very, very busy. And Congratulations on being department head :-) Never miss a meeting!
