sadness and excitement

I have been watching my next semester class fill up with students and have found only about half of my current students were able to get into my class. I have already recieved a few e-mails wishing they could be added somehow. But, it's not going to happen. There was no list and I can't push out any currently signed up students. I'm going to have to recommend some teachers for CWII and let them go - even though I am attached to them. I have begun to see exactly how and what they write, thier individual tastes and styles. It's very exciting to be able to read an essay and know right away who it was that wrote it.

I am very excited about next year, however. There is so much to plan and get ready for to integrate my ideas into the CWII course and see how it all works out. Hopefully those students who did not know it was a specialized course will not be disappointed. Perhaps, perhaps not.

I have been horribly busy the last week and have been in and out of my room. I have missed so many phone calls that I come home to find tons of messages. For those that are out there that have been trying to get a hold of me, I am still alive. Just bogged down - which hasn't lessened yet, since this weekend is going to be a horrific one in which I am going to study for the duration of the next few days. But first, a trek to the movie theatre to catch "Gothika" which came out today. Whoot!
