As I type on the first Sunday of the last month of 2007, I can’t help but look back at the past three months. The past three months have been an absolute blur. This includes starting a new job in a new division teaching new courses to new kids, coaching high school hockey and initiation (6 and under) hockey, and taking three courses in the same term (not recommended if you would like to consider yourself normal). I realize I’m ranting and raving, but at least I’m coming to some sort or realization.
With that said, I wouldn’t change anything if I were to do it all over again. I have learned numerous valuable “stuff”, met interesting people, yelled at the referee and even managed to play army, ‘Terry’ (don’t ask), fixer guys, Christmas shop (that’s a lie – but I will this week), and just go about my life as it was up until three months ago. For the first time in awhile I feel as though there might be a flek of light at the end of the tunnel. The rotten part of finishing coursework for multiple courses is that all culminating projects have similar due dates. My wife has told me that she needs me to be around sometime in the next month as we are expecting our second child in January. And just when I thought things were going to get a little easier…
Sigh…with that off of my chest, I had a chance to finish my paper and to do a little social networking surfing. I wanted to pass along this URL http://www.digication.com/. If you or your students do portfolios, you may find this useful

I am speechlessly, truly impressed by everything you have accomplished – including having written your final paper. And I was feeling sorry for myself with having 2 courses to complete. Yous story reminds me that there is always someone else who has it ‘harder’ than you do. Congrats not only for your course but also for the up and coming addition to your family.
