Tuesday, February 21

6:02 a.m. - Yesterday was not the day off from school I had hoped to enjoy.  We had grandchildren and grand dogs all day long.  The kids were great; the dogs were a handful.  Late last night I also received information that told me I didn't get a boys basketball sectional assignment, which furthered my disappointment and frustration with the IHSA this basketball season.  Plus, I found out who was selected to work the state finals.  Needless to say, I didn't sleep well.  I really know I should be happy for others, but I find myself battling my mind to avoid being bitter as hell.  I don't think I could have worked any harder this past basketball season to be as good as I could possibly be and help with the guys I work with.  To have all of that effort seemingly go unnoticed for postseason assignments has caused me to rethink some things.

Today could be a real mess at school.  I've been off since last Thursday.  I'm going to have to get back in the groove somehow.  Then tonight I have to go to Peoria Richwoods.  One thing I can say...this is the last week of basketball officiating for me.  I'm just going to try to set the bitterness aside and try to enjoy the last week of games.

Things to do for school

  • get lesson plan completed for 2-22
  • Get grades from EN102 - need Emma B.
  • Check assignments from Friday
  • Score and enter presentation scores
  • send training path update just to keep informed - next week
  • work on research paper prompt
    • Write an argument in which you select an historical figure you have encountered so far in English III or U.S. History that would prove to be an effective leader for the United States in 2023. In your argument include research of relevant background information of your selected individual, as well as her/his effective leadership traits (and if you believe those traits would translate to today's modern challenges).

  • retake softball exam
