Sometimes I feel like this...
Everything is set on my calendar, organized, prepared for - all is well. I like those times. I am able to focus on each task with the attention I want to provide. I call the shots about my time. Then I wake up!
The e-mails start arriving, the phone messages start racking up and the deadlines - oh those deadlines - they start approaching.
That's when I start feeling like this...
I don't mean to be that way. I just hate spending time on tasks that hold no appeal. That is one of the hardest accomodations I am making while teaching and attending Full Sail Online - I don't have enough time to incorporate what I'm learning into lesson with any degree of complication.

As frustrating as it is to not be able to use the tools and ideas your getting immediately (as the school year marches on whether you're paying attention or not!), you do have that wondrous break at the end of the year when you can make all things new again. When I was building one of my former ed-tech programs I told the teachers that it was like climbing under a car moving 90 mile per hour and changing out the engine. Now imagine what it's like to do that every thirty days with no break in between and grading overlapping the next thirty-day session. I'm now changing out external components of the space shuttle during launch. It's a lot of fun, but you don't want to misplace a wrench. :-D
