i finished my annotated bib for dr davis' class. we have a ti session with her tonight, so i'll try to see if i did it right. it's not due for a few days, so i have a little time to tweak it.

i'm taking today to update all of the sites i'm working on--virtual high school, collaboration, visual explorations. i also have to summarize our leadership thread in ng's. busy day

i've been working through the next set of assignments, due at the boston f2f. there is much collaboration between cadre members--everyone seems to really want to help evryone else to succeed. next week should be easier, as hollywood is going off-track and i'll have more time to work on this stuff.

i set up some blogs--one for sparks' class, one for the nma, and one for my video demonstration. it was easy. a lot of positve reinforcement. i had some trouble with the group discussion set up for another part of paul's class. it seems that the vehicle that was chosen for us to meet on was windows only, so i spent an hour installing virtual pc. i got it installed, but the meeting was over. better luck next time?

it is the last day of f2f. there have been some real highs, and some moderate lows. we all reacted pretty negatively to getting a full syllabus and reading list for the leadership class so late. it didn't help that a paper and a presentation were due at this f2f. tensions were running high! things smoothed out, though, and saturday and sunday went fairly well. we had a great dinner last night, where the cadre hung out and visited. it really helped me bond with the others, and i hope they felt the same toward me.

now we have a new set of assignments; some due in boston, others due by the end of the term. it still seems daunting, but we are going to rely on each other to make it happen. all things considered, i feel very upbeat and enthusiastic.
