Bye bye, UWP
Sunday, July 2nd, 2006Scott and I went to our last UWP class of the summer on Friday, but it’s not like we won’t be seeing those folks again. They don’t tell you this in the interview, but the Writing Project is one of those in-it-for-life deals. You go in thinking, “Hey, six graduate credit hours in three weeks? For free? Count me in!” But that’s just how they get their claws into you. Once you’re in, word starts getting around that you’ve got to do your presentation again at your home school, and probably a few more times after that. And then there are the monthly meetings, and the conferences they’ll be calling you to. Quite a racket they’ve got going, really.
It’s not so bad, though. I had a wonderful time, and it’s okay that they’re dragging me, kicking and screaming, into the world of “educational leadership.” And it’s more than okay that they made me write every single day. I only hope I can come close to doing that without being in class. I’ll probably post bits and pieces of the stuff I wrote in class, and maybe a little bit of the new stuff I’m working on. Lucky you.
