GONE.... GRANT READING!!!

SACRAMENTO ~ 5.24.11

My week was spent reading grants... four days... reading, making notes, discussing, determining a final score!

Sounds dismal?? 

Actually - it's exhausting... BUT, it also includes:

:: loads of laughing ::

(at meals with colleagues from all corners of California)

 

:: hotel "pampering" ::

(love the simplicity of having just the "necessities" for the week)

 

:: learning about programs, collaborative partnerships 

and implementation in the schools + communities ::

(rural, suburban & urban) 

:: work that continues to interest ME! ::

AND ~ it RAINED for two hours on Wednesday!! surprise! surprise!! California weather continues to be unpredictable... (like most of the rest of the country)

Arrived HOME Thursday evening ~ a DAY earlier than scheduled... all the grant readers were "speedy" at completing this task!! 

AHHH!!! my own bed!
