It has been an overwhelming day to say the least! Today was the first day of orientation to the Gilbert School District. It is a great district and I have been absolutely impressed with how the district is run. Today we found out some of the logistics of what is required. I have to complete 7 1/2 hours of new teacher training that has to be completed in 12 months and an additional 12 1/2 hours within 18 months. That is the district requirements so that does not include all the things that I have to do for the State. I have to complete 60 hours of SEI training (Second language learners) within the year. I also have to complete two exams within the year! Can I say OVERLOAD?? At this point I'm wondering......what exactly does my Master's Degree mean???
I have also been hit up about coaching volleyball, basketball and softball. I'm really interested in coaching so my first instinct is to make my life as busy as possible. I'm happier when I'm busy but I also know how totally consumed my life can become with teaching and coaching. My social life (or potential social life) will become nonexistant as I spend all my time at school and working. Right now that sounds great but that's not going to give me a balanced life.......what to do......what to do.........Will I be able to say NO is the other question......to be continued.......

Wow, yikes. Good luck James. I think it would be really super cool for you to coach something though, but I would just pick 1. You know the most and/or are the best at softball, aren't you?
I actually am the most comfortable with basketball but as always I can't say NO so I'm doing volleyball and basketball! It will be good and I'm excited! :)
