Just finished up my first online synchronous session with the cohort. Such a knowledgeable group with great experiences. Each interaction assures me that I was right to trust my judgment on this program: I am still not sure what I will do with an administration certificate. There are days when I think-oh if I just went back into the classroom with all the knowledge and tech expertise I have now that would be a cool experience. Being an administrator does not hold any appeal to me. But I signed up for the program thinking the process of the program would be worthwhile and quite possibly help me figure out what might be the next career step. More and more I'm feeling the program itself will just be a very worthwhile experience and must remember to leave myself open to all the different ways it will provide those experiences.

I can see this program is going to force me to be way more organized than I have been in the last couple of years, but that's a good thing. I am a fairly easy going person overall so it's easy for me to become almost too relaxed- thinking yes I'll get to that.
Some suggestions which I will put to work: scheduling time for tasks and blocking the activities/time on my calendar. The checklists for the weeks have been incredibly helpful and I think I may try to incorporate such a tool into my life in general. Summer seems to lull me into a state of non production-at least these last few have felt that way. I think a weekly checklist(that includes days at the beach) will be a helpful tool to get myself on top of things this summer- I'm sure there's an app that I can use for this.
