It's Official - Jess is a Cyclone!

We had the official signing ceremony yesterday and it was a pretty cool event. There were a bunch of kids that came, a bunch of teachers, coaches and some people from the community.

The AD gave a small presentation about how rare it is for a high school athlete to not only play at the division 1 level but to get a scholarship. Less than 1% of high school athletes get this opportunity.

Jess signed her scholarship paperwork and the National Letter of Intent. Everyone clapped and then she was interviewed live by the local radio and newspaper sports writers. She did a good job.

One of the nicest moments was when she was talking to the radio sportscaster and he asked her who she wanted to thank. One of the people was Drew. She thanked him for having to deal with her for the last 10 year. Going to all her events, volleyball tournaments, basketball tournaments, etc. He was in the back of the room and I think he really appreciated her doing that.

It was a good day.

I got a new cell phone for work. It is taking me a bit to get used to it but I like it.

Class went well last night. It is hard having a big class like I have because there is such a big gap in skill levels. I have some students that are right out of high school or still in high school that are good students and can zip right through the material. On the other hand I have people who have not been in school in over 20 years and do not have very good computer skills.

It is a hard balance to go slow enough for the low experienced level students without losing the more experienced ones.

Drew has a game here in Perry tonight against Adel, and Jess plays here in Perry against Adel tomorrow.

Trash day so the ladies will be out and prancing around. Bundle up biatches, its cold.

Off to start.
