Okay... okay... I know. And I'm really really sorry. For those of you who don't know, I had to take a master's degree class this last semester in addition to all of my other "stuff"... and the Dragonfly Chronicles made the chopping block so as to make room for the educational splendiforus fun. Ick. New Year's resolution? Yep... here it is: I will write once a week, if not more... I will not dwell on the RIDICULOUS fact that even though I've been teaching for 13 years, the state of Oregon has decided all teachers without master's degrees need to get them... okay... I said it. I now will let it go... at least for the purposes of the blog. (I'm really ticked off about this because I will have to pay $25,000 out that I don't have)Oops... I've done it. I dwelled... I said I wouldn't but I did. So it is out. I guess the good news is that I'm going to get the MA in Theater Production- I know my literature and my teaching... I have much to learn about theater. Additionally, I think my co-teacher, Todd Rose, will be doing the program with me... should be cool.
On a lighter-slightly-less-angry note... life is remarkably good. My girls are amazing- growing and learning. Rob and I are thankful in this horrid economy to have viable jobs. I still love teaching after all these years. Still find my heart flutter a bit every time I see a light bulb come on over a student's head- still find myself excited to start new novels and let the kids get to know the wonders within. Yes... life is expensive and messy... but quite good.
I'll be back soon... resolution. Done. I'll be back... tehehehe- Schwarzenegger was here!
