I have to miss the next two days. I am going to the AENJ conference - presenting Tuesday and on a panel on Wednesday. I am happy to be doing this, but I am sad to not be at work. I feel like I am abandoning the classes. I wish the AENJ would do the conference later in the school year. I know no one wants to watch a video with a sub, but I really like the videos I picked.
I guess I am also glad in a way. I am getting my first cold of the school year. Ugh! Right now I have the chills and my nose is running like crazy. And I have to speak in front of a room full of people tomorrow! Yikes. But I am happy because, though I will be going to A LOT of workshops, at least I don't have to run around like I do at school. Hopefully the two days will be mellow enough so that I do not get sick. I hate to use sick days.
I can't wait for some of the talks I plan to go to. Some are about grant writing, some about social issues, and some about helping students get into art school. Now that I am in a groove with Photo II, I can now focus on getting the students to put together stellar portfolios!
My schedule is so packed this week, I feel like I need to install my car's cruise control into my brain. At least this is a three-day weekend coming up. And I have to volunteer on Saturday and I have a feeling I have something Sunday, but I cannot remember what. Ooops...
