Okay for the last few weeks I have been doing the Master's program at a local university. Everything has been fine. Nothing has conflicted with my teaching life, until this past week. Teaching AVID sometimes requires me to go to training. This week I began tutor training and I was under the impression I had to only go to one session. I have to go to all three sessions which are on Tuesdays, the day I have class. I make it to class about 15 minutes late. The professor says it's okay. The kicker is I have homework from training and school tacked on with some BTSA work. Can we say give me a day off? Sure it's a three day weekend. But I started it by going to a different training on a new book that we will be using in the CAHSEE class, in which i'm the only teacher who teachers it. I have to update my resume. Begin posting for next school year and summer school. Get some grading done. Spend quality time with my daughter. Can we say overwhelmed. I'm already looking forward to the next three day weekend. I also have to plan for this school week.
On the plus side the AVID training will look good on my resume as will the masters degree. Hopefully this new text will be better than our current one. So long as I survive this week, i'll be fine. I think i'll just have to break up the next two days into chunks so i'll feel like i'm managing.

Hi Norma I haven't forgotten you, I'm not starting BTSA until next year when my school has the funding for it. I'm not looking forward to it, I guess I'll have to check out the option of getting my masters while I'm at it. It's nice to have the computers, because so far I'm really working with outdated texts. The book does have the Literature I need but the books are really beat up. I am no longer sharing my room, or traveling. It is very nice as I can stay in my own room during prep. Well I've got grading, You know how it is, just wanted to check in and say hi, get some rest girl, no summer school for you.
