One down ten to go AND a trip to St. Louis

I had about given up on Lesley University's Masters in Education, Technology in Education cohort group ever getting started, but if finally did.  I have made it through the first class - Computers, Technology and Education.  The first weekend was a little stressful.  Getting back into student mode and on top of that the girls' basketball team state championship game started at the same time the first class started.

I sent everything in, submitted it to the right site (with some help from friends) and await the final grade.  This is looking to be a great program.  I have already passed on ideas or websites to teachers from the classes.

The Trip
We started to panic a bit this weekend when the tornado hit St. Louis.  I am traveling on Wednesday morning with a group to the FIRST LEGO LEAGUE World Festival.  We were selected to go to the festival out of several new teams in Nebraska.  The students are getting excited about the trip.  A few have never been on a plane.  We plan to use the St. Louis metro service - another new experience.  They have also looked at the other teams coming and decided who they want to meet.

Then it is just three weeks until school is over.  Will I be ready for the end?
