Geez -- I am totally overwhelmed with work right now. They are looking to make me the point guy for faculty development, and that means that the whole thing is up to me to make happen. As it stands, I have like one other person I can use as a resource, and that person isn't overflowing with available time, either.

Shel's getting understandably tired of my bringing work home nearly every night; I'm getting tired of it too!

On the plus side, I'm now in a way to learn a lot of new things; my boss is very much into professional development, and I'm reading new stuff about assessment and instructional design models. Just joined the ASCD, which is an organization that is developing some cool approaches to instructional design. Specifically, I'm finding my work influenced by the Understanding by Design book series.

But somehow, someway, this pace has got to lighten up, or I have to toughen up and get more efficient. Likely both.
