I've had a strange week this last week. I've been losing things. I lost one of my favorite earrings, and more troublesome yet, I've lost the ring I always wear. I haven't been able to find either one. I've been known to take my ring off while I sleep, but I've searched my bed multiple times. It's very frustrating.
However, I was able to find the weight I lost last week. That of course was easy for me to find. But then, I went about looking for it too. I've been having a rough time sticking to the diet for the last couple of days. Part of it is because I'm very achy. Part of it is that I'm overwhelmed with work. And part of it is that I've grown a bit tired of the diet in general. I need to get motivated again. Sometimes it's really hard to force yourself to be in the right state of mind. Will-power isn't all that's needed for this kind of thing. If it was, no one would have to struggle with his or her weight. It isn't about will-power.
On a positive note, I'm very excited about a new project that I've started working on. The Web Design and Development program is working with me to develop a sentence-diagramming program. This will essentially be an interactive tutorial that will teach students how to diagram sentences. Hopefully it'll help me teach my students relationships between words in sentences. So far, I've only written the first unit. It'll be interesting to see what we can develop.
Love this post, especially your humor/comparison b/w your lost jewelry and found weight!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the tutorial is progressing nicely. Congrats! These is a great idea. You're planning on marketing this when it's done, right?
We really have to wait and see how it comes out, but if it turns out as well as I imagine it, I'd like to try to market it. Can you imagine making a profit? The communication discipline?
