teaching

well today i had to teach a lesson on cricket for striking and fielding and it was a tough one. It all started off bad. I tried contacting my partner all weekend to meet so we would go over the lesson plan that i put together because he would never answer my phone calls. Well sunday ngiht i never got a phone call back so i went to sleep. This morning i woke up with 2 missed calls from him. He wanted to meet last ngiht at 11 o clock. i ended up meeting him the morning our lesson was due to be taught. we began to teach and i was trying to let him teach but it was affecting our grade. I ended up teaching the lesson myself petty much. Luckly coach Ruiz noticed what was going on and split our grades up. This lesson today made me realize that you have to be ready for anything and expect the worse when planning a lesson.

cricket

On monday i will be teaching a lesson on cricket. This is the first time i have created a lesson plan for an activity i have never played nor heard of. Im kinda nervous because if i get stuck i cant just think of past experiences and use that to help the class out. When teaching something like softball i can relate back to baseball and slow pitch softball and answer the questions that someone might have. but with cricket it is completly different. I am looking forward to teaching and learning something new but at the same time im kinda nervous.

Duke looses in 2nd round

As many of you know Duke ranked number 2 in the west lost in the 2nd round to WVU. This screwed up many peoples brackets and upset alot of people. But for me this is what i expected. I had Duke loosing in the 2nd round to wvu and people were making fun of me saying it would never happen. But as it turned out the crazy upset that i picked turned out to be true. this years bracket is turning out to be a pretty crazy one with lots of unexpected upsets. How cant u love this time of year. College basketball is on just about every minute of the day. IF there is not a game on ESPN is breaking down and taking thier picks for the next round..

college basketball

Tomorrow starts March Madness for college basketball. This time of year I can never wait for. But once again it is here, and I am excited. I was recent ally filling out my brackets and vie never had this much trouble before. All of the teams seem to be so good this year. It is a toss up between all of them. I finished my polls and keep looking back at them thinking about changing a few of my picks. I do have a number of so called upsets but like I said this year has a lot of toss ups. Id like Pittsburgh to go far but I don’t see that happening even though they are hot right now. I took them to the sweet 16 then knocked them off. Even though I only have them going this far, I would like them to make it further.

College of ed

Today i found out that i must apply to the college of ed this semister. This means i must gather everything up by April 2nd. I was under the understating that we just had to apply before we had 90 credits. But from what i hear today it is before 70 credits. My advisor does not notify his students about anything. IT would be nice if i had an advisor that actually cared about his students and helped them out..

BIG BEN

Yesterday it was announced that Big Ben sighned a contract for 102 million dollars over the next 8 years. This is the largerst money deal the pittsburgh steelers have ever signed. How does everyone else feel about this. I belive they should not have signed him for this much. Yes he is a good QB but i dont think they should have spent this much on him. He is probably the best QB the steelers will have for awhile but thye could have picked up some other players and lessened Bens contract. This money could have been put to use in other areas that would have benifited us more.

old sports injuries

I hate this time of year. For one the weather never knows what it wants to do. IT can be snowing one day, and the next it is raining, and the next its 50 degrees. But the main reason this time of year bothers me is because all of my old sports injuries seem to act up. With the temperate changing all of the time my joints kill me. My knee and shoulder are the worst. Its times like these that i with i hadnt played sports for 16 years of my life. I recently sprained my ankle also, so now i am dealing with that. It happened yesterday so this morning when i got up i could barley walk. Its sucks to think about this but with all of the injuries i have had i am not looking forward to getting older. They bother me alot now, whats it going to be like 20 or 30 years from now?
