A week of firsts

Wow! I am blogging.  This is a new experience for me, so bear with me please.  In fact, this has been a week of new experiences for me.  Monday was the first day I have been a student and not the teacher since I finished my master's degree in 2003.  I have, of course, attended workshops and trainings, but this is a completely different feeling. I usually leave those trainings thinking, "Well that was a day of my life I will never get back."  This week, though, I have left class feeling optimistic that these classes and certification experience will help both me and my students.
