Yes, I really DO want to go to Germany this summer for three weeks on an all-expense paid trip to look at the schools and culture of Germany! Who wouldn't want to? So... what's going on?
I am feeling a little worn out.... Over the past month I have written and applied for about 5 different grant opportunities: Best Buy, Delta Kappa Gamma, Fulbright, HEB Excellence in Teaching, and now this one. It's a lot of energy, but there are also deadlines that must be met for future opportunities like this one....so I've got to get it together today!
I'm feeling pressure to complete a lot of loose ends from work, and I owe quite a bit of time to the Collaborative and I'm trying to find ways to make that time up... so I guess that what's going on is that I have to focus and ground myself. Perhaps if I make a list.. I love making lists... is making a list another form of procrastination? I often lose them or don't do them, but it DOES remove the chatter from my brain and puts it on a pece of paper that allows me to focus with a plan and it's easier for me to get back on track....
Okay let's try it:
- Work on the Germany lesson plan
- Check Naruto ;)
- Work on the "Why Do I want to go to Germany?" part
- Do lesson plans
- Call Helen for her interview for the Project Linus website
- Reread the lesson plan for editing and clarification
- Find the Accelerated Reading stuff and work on that
- Reread the essay portion of the application
- Print and take envelope to post office along with the Blockbuster movie...
- Watch Naruto
- Work on Habitat "suitcase"
- Put Bundle 4 in the SHARE folder
- Email Lori about Collaborative ideas and hours
- Find a way to get to Vietnam next summer... or the Antarctica... whoa... what about a polar expedition to BOTH POLES!!! YES! That would be AWESOME!!!
Hey! Isn't this Sunday when I'm supposed to be relaxing ...
