Let the Games Begin (not the Olympics)

Wow, I think I am almost ready for that first year of teaching. After a few setbacks (previous Dean turned new version of Beast)I should have everything ready to go for the Fall term.

All syllabi and weekly plan with rubric are in place and ready to be sent and printed to all the appropriate persons. A few preliminary meetings with co-workers looks like we are all on the same page and getting ready to pull our programs out of the ashes that the Beast left us.

So I sit here nervously waiting for something to go wrong before Monday, or all of a sudden realize I have forgotten the most important thing that is needed to accomplish this life altering goal achievement.

There is always the laundry that isn't done, so I may not know what to wear.

I do have to complete the paper work for the BAS degree and begin those online classes, get books ordered and hope I haven't messed up something by taking those classes at this point. The Art History course is the one I want to ace, but I already find my memory of all those slides of artwork fading in my mind as I look at the options of this new program. I can do it, I can manage a few things and come out looking good, I know I can.

Well, maybe I'll just let the rest of this rest until Monday and look around the house and get caught up on some of those little things I have left go for months (dirt keeps)!

My excitement on starting the new ME has grown and turned into panic over doing a great job so I can continue to do what I really do best. Calm down overachiever, it will all come out in the wash~
