where I have been. Some of you are wondering who the he!! this is.

Anyway, I started Graduate classes at OU-Tulsa two weeks ago. I am apart of the cohort class in Education Administration. I go to class for two weekends and am done with one class. Not bad if you can sit on your butt ALL DAY LONG! Friday nights we go from 4-9 pm, Saturdays 9am-7pm, and Sunday 1pm-8pm. This isn't a bad way to get through school if you can handle the long days. It helps if you have good instructors as well!!!! Good news is....next July I will be done and have me a Masters Degree!!!!

Secondly, I got my student football tickets on Monday. So now I can join you hillbillies (or is it hillbilly's) on saturdays for at least 4 games. I have class on two of the dates. Can't wait to join the tailgating experience!!!

Thirdly, I have an interview with the athletic director at Cascia Hall today at 12:15. I am interviewing for the Head Baseball job there. So...wish me luck!!!!

OUT!

i did a semester of PhD work in education admin (educational leadership to be specific). needless to say, i will not be called "doctor" anytime soon. education can be boring on a good day - when you don't like the course work, it can be lethal.

good luck to you.

Wether it be 5 or 9 hours....it is a lot of work. Especially since I have 5 papers due by the end of the month! I hope I can find time to coach a little baseball!

Boomhauer, while you were gone, I'm afraid the Cubs sucked mightily.

I though you would want to know. :(

I imagine being any baseball would hurt, much less the head baseball. Let's hope nobody knocks the cover off you.

Do they use the head baseball for the first pitch?

That's what I'm doing, ILAC with an emphasis in science ed. No way I'd ever be an administrator though, they have to eat way too much ****, and they can't post on SF.com all day.

It is really not that bad. I just have to get used to writing papers. I got one done two days ago. I think that if I just concentrate on one a day....I will be fine.

The interview went great yesterday!!!! They told me that they wanted to bring the baseball program up to the level of the football and basketball program. Plus I would have me a nice little raise! I should hear from them early next week to go into the chambers with the education people for their interview.
