Falling Behind, Catching Up
Some of you may have wondered if I have fallen off the face of the earth the past few weeks... and, well, yah, I guess I have. Not intending to drag my students into my personal life, I haven't really mentioned what has been going on, and I'm kind of struggling with whether to throw it out there or not. But, since I live within the definition of "being human" I figure what can it harm.
I was out of town last week, back in Michigan, to visit my very ill father. Several months ago in my blog I mentioned that he had recently been diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer with brain metastases (cancer tumors). He had radiation and chemo back in the Spring and I'm happy to say that he had a pretty good summer. However, the cancer took back over last month and it's been a pretty rough downhill spiral. I made an emergency visit to see him and assist with his care (he refuses to go into a nursing home for care so my siblings are doing a fantastic job helping him with his 24/7 care).
Therefore I apologize if I've been a bit "absent" the past two weeks. I'm intending to catch up on grading and will have the remaining assignments posted shortly. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
In all honesty I have greatly enjoyed reading the blog postings and project 2 responses. As always, I love the forum participation. Even if I'm not putting my $.02 in everywhere doesn't mean I'm not here... looking on like the proud teacher I am. I love when the students "get it" and I can see the lightbulb going off as well.
Keep up the great work!
