WOW

If there was one thing about my academic challenges what would it be? I would quite simply state two things, organization of my time and procrastination. The latter first, I have found the flex schedule to be good and very bad. Good in the fact that you have some options for your week, so if something comes up wednesday evening you still have another option to get to a seminar without using option 2. which in my opinion is not an option at all, missing the live discussion is the best way to go to class. Now for the bad, it allows for you to convince yourself that you have other chances to get to class so you can put off seminar to another day even though in your heart you know that the best time for you is right now. So you can see procrastination at its finest right here at work.
The other factor is organization of my time, which I do think is a little more serious problem for me right now. I work as a PD/Instructor at another school, I have my own private Massage Therapy practice, I volunteer as a youth coach, I am trying to go to school(10 credits), and I have a wife of over 30 years that I love to be with daily. Time is a huge factor, the PD/Instructor is a new position with a new school starting a new program, this one right now is very time consuming right now. In fact it brings the next little bullet into consideration, how is school influencing my life, it is school that helped me land this current job. It is finishing this education that will enable me to continue at an even higher level with this school so I know how important this is right now to me. It is just getting abetter grip that I am having trouble with at the present moment. I know it will be ok it is just right now I have the appearence of a multiplr train wreck, things are all over the place. In fact right now is a great example I woke myself up thinking about this project at 430 in the morning and said I have time now lets do it and here I am finishing it at 530 in the morning. Have a gheat day and see you later.

Hello to all, it has been a whirlwind here at the neff house the past 3 weeks. I am in the middle of trying to buy our first house and of course we have to run into some snags with the house. So now instead of moving back in september we are now looking at thanksgiving probably. That means part of our house is packed, part not packed, and the biggest part is just wherever. I also got a great career oppurtunity and went from an instructor in a post secondary education institution to a program director of a brand new massage therapy program in another facility. This is a great oppurtunity and challenge for me. All of this has made time a very special commodity for it has been scarce. The dust is settling a little for now so I can get back to focusing on my education and the other little things I do to make myself able to enjoy all of this. My education is very special to me and I know it is why I have been able to get to where I am today and more importantly where I want to go in my career. Have a great day!!

hello

This is a new post that has been a long time in the writing. I am here today in my next to last day of teaching for my current employer. I have been a student and an instructor here since 9/2000. It has been a glorious event and I have no regrets but it became time for me to change. I have accepted another position as a director with a different school. I am here just reflecting on all that I have learned as an instructor with the hope that I can use that kniowledge with the new program and position on Monday. My current employer has been fantastic in the way they have treated me since my resignation was handed in and that was a great releif. I am also about 22 days away from closing on our first house which is a huge undertaking and one my wife of 30 years,(bless her heart) and I have really enjoyed. So fall 2010 is one of great change for me and my wife so here I sit just reflecting and it seems to be helping me deal with all the change in my life
