Sad But True

Well, it's officially gone. The computer specialists at the school district tried to recover my hard drive when it crashed, but to no avail. The hardest pill for me to swallow is re-writing the 20-page paper for my masters portfolio. It contained lesson plans, strategies, all written in third person, which took  much time and effort to produce!  For the portfolio I am supposed to use those lessons, videotape myself teaching them, analyze the students' results, and add several more pages to the portfolio in doing so.  Now I need to start from ground zero and have it finished in March.  OUCH!!!  I ALMOST printed it and was thinking about saving it to my thumb drive. Procrastination gets me again! Let this be a lesson to anyone with a computer. The sad thing is my co-workers shared this lesson they had just learned as well. My professor didn't hang on to my paper, and it's not in any of my emails anywhere.  Sad!!! It also makes me sick all the itunes, iphotos, and documents I created for school that were on it.  Luckily over Christmas, I was able to load many pictures from my iphoto onto DVDs so I can keep my memories of all the trips I've taken.  PHEW! Thanks Dad and Mom for your help with that!  Okay, I think that's enough of a pity party.  It's off to work I go!  Time to get writin'!

P.S. There will be NO pictures posted with this!
