I sort of dropped into a black hole

I've been neck deep in work and summer camp these past few days. Well, it wasn't really summer camp, but that's what they called it. It was really computer camp. Two looooong days of computer camp. Each day by mid-day my head felt like it was going to explode, but never fear I had some duct tape in my purse, just in case. I'm always prepared. Anyway, I signed up for this camp to learn how to better set up my new simulation/case study class. It turns out that the focus of the camp was more on making materials accessible to disabled students, then let's get in there and help you set up your far too complicated course. In fact, they made my life more difficult. I found out that my syllabus is totally unaccessible to blind students who use readers to read the syllabus. So the bulk of the first day was reworking my already finished, and might I had quite visually appealing, syllabus. When I asked for help in setting up group feedback forms, which is an important part of the students grades, they basically made me feel like it was going to be the equivalence of scaling Mt. Everest to set up a group feedback system. I immediately got on the phone to the administration to ask them to delay the start of school one more month so that I can have enough time to get done all that I need to get done to get this friggin' website set up (I really didn't call them, because you know they would have said....NO). Anyway, it feels like I've fallen into a black hole and it will be a while before I find my way out of it. I've got loads of pictures of Dan and Cody's highly successful fishing trip that I hope to post soon, but it will be a few more days. Oh, I almost forgot...through all of this I decided to go back on Atkins, so I'm in the induction phase, so I've been very cranky, which has only added to the fun the past few days. Back to work!
