I am feeling so much better about how much I have left to do for classes! My lit review is done (except for minor proofreading changes). My choice projects are 2/3s done! The things that I am concentrating on are:
1. Writing up the reflection/lesson plan for choice projects.
2. Instructional Framework-I still need to find out what exactly I am teaching, what unit I can use for this. I don't have a curriculum so I am trying to get that from school. I may just end up picking something out of the textbook. I want to use these lessons for next year so I want to get the curriculum, but that may be an issue.
3. Group Presentation-Hopefully, I can work on this in my group tomorrow during class. We still have to put together the slides, and figure out the strategy that I will be using to explain my research paper.
4. Article reviews for Tech class-These should not be that hard. I just have to find the time and do them!
At the beginning, of this list, I was feeling great about my progress. I still feel good about my progress (went down from great!), but I am reeling a bit from what I still have to do! This reminds me of a long car trip. The hardest part of a 14-hour day is the 8-10 hour marks. You feel that you have done so much already that you should be nearing the end, but you look at the clock and are still 6-4 hours away! The last 5-2 hours of the trip are the longest, because you can see and feel the end, but are just not there yet! It doesn't help that I now have to be the driver and pay attention throughout the drive. I am used to being the passenger with my ipod on, three pillows, blankets and asleep stretched out in the back seat!
(Can anyone tell that I am usually preparing for a long trip this time of year?)
Anyway, I need to get back to work. Just saw a mileage marker: Only 400 miles to go!
