AnTIciPation...killing me

I am sure you know what I am talking about when you know that there is a mountain to climb at the end of the day, your not sure of the size of the headwalls or whether or not you will need to resort to technical assistance, but you know that it will be a rewarding yet exhausting journey. The anticipation of reaching that climb is fresh in your mind until you actually meet the challenge face to face. Well, as I sit here waiting for my students to deliver their final thoughts on what I am going to be assigned I am feeling like I just took on the climb of a lifetime yet scared about how crazy hard this journey to the summit will be.
