Things just keep changing

So..why is it that the more things change...the less they change? I had a job interview last week....thought it went really well. They kept my portfolio, kept me in the interview for nearly an hour...and yet...still no word on what is happening.
Things changed over night for me...and I can't seem to get my head wrapped around it...
and I can't get my balance. I am falling...clawing to stop myself...and not finding anything to grab onto...finding nothing that looks normal.
The holes here are huge...gaping and raw.... I used to be dented....now.....i can't even describe it.. I just wish...I could get something normal back...

Today is the last day

Hi
Today is the last day for now for Project Write. I feel a little on the outside of this group. I don't have a classroom. I don't have the same group of kids. I just have everyone. I don't have specific time for reading or writing. I don't have the support of editing time or even a specific curriculum. I can do the technology though. I just need the opportunity. Man I wish schools thought with more than just their pocketbooks. I wish that kids were really the focus and the most important thing.

I just want to do my job...to the best of my ability...for the kids..

New Directions

So... life always seems to take new directions. I just don't understand why they always have to be so hard. Why is it that you can do all things correctly, or for the right reasons....and still be the one facing the consequences?

I found this aquarium...and put it on my home page for iGoogle. Trying to remind myself to just slow down....breathe.....and focus on the things i can..

we'll see how it works.

SL and Free Time

So, I have long wondered about the fascination my friends had with WOW online and other things they do regularly. Then I found Second Life. I originally went to SL in search of things related to my job as a teacher. I joined some education groups and then found the writers. I have become much more prolific in my writing due to the interest shown in the fact that my "avatar" has the title of poet. Now I have a social network of friends...and understand much more the draw that having that "virtual world" can have on your real life. Free time is slim in my world these days, but having others around that I feel I know makes it much easier to just spend time there.
