Maintaining my now once a month post is not making me feel good. I have to set time aside to post more. If only I had more time. My class is going well, I am on my third one and presented a lesson on Wednesday. It went well of course, I mean I rock when it comes to teaching history. But I do get a bit nervous presenting lessons to my peers. Partly because they know what to look for, but also the dynamics are so different. With students they are in the class and depend on a grade from me, as well as they learn material in context. With peers, they could give a crap who I am or what I say and they don't have the previous lessons to provide context. So it tends to be a bit dry and they aren't responsive.

The good thing is that I got my promotion, a raise and a chance for more advancement at work. The bad news is that this further complicates the decisions I have to make between choosing career paths. Until I win the lottery that is.

There is so much more I want to say, but I just don't have the time. I have some files to put away and bills to pay before I watch Bill Maher at 11pm.
