Frustration and happiness are a weird mix! Right now I am sitting in a coffee shop in a little town of Wray, CO trying to get my darn webquest finished. Of course on top of the the internet, is down all over town I think! My webquest is done and ready to go, but I don’t know if I will be to upload it considering I can’t get any internet access anywhere that I thought I would have. I am concerned I am going to have to drive three hours into Denver tonight to get access which would really be terrible.

On the other hand I am excited that I have a week off from kids, and this grad school class is almost done. This grad school class has been very frustrating for me at the same time it has had some rewards. I have been very frustrated at the amount of time and work I have had to put in on top of what my classmates have done. I feel like I have gone way above and beyond, but I feel like some things have had to drop by the wayside in order to meet my deadlines. I have had some success though such as conquering Dream Weaver, which was a big deal for me. I know that I have to challenge myself a little more than my classmates in this grad school class, and I feel like with Dreamweaver I did that.

Man this has been a rough couple of weeks!. It’s the main reason I have not updated this all important blog in two weeks. I hope that Mrs. McCoy won’t take off for it considering I will have ten blog entries by time I am done.

Really this has been a very frustrating time for me. School has not gone the way I wanted to at the end of this semester. I have gone to a new format with the power point’s I use in class that is very time consuming. It had pushed back everything else I wanted to do. I eventually gave the format up at the end of the semester and used the time to catch up in wrestling and grading papers.

Wrestling has been just as frustrating. I have a program that has growing pains. Two of my Varsity starters that I thought I could depend on have been out for the last month and we are having to depend on lower level kids. Its very frustrating. My team really struggles below the weight class of 135, and we have lost several duals this year because of it.
