Nearly four days after returning from NECC in Atlanta and I’m still exhausted. The adventure on the way to out there left me with only two hours of sleep before heading to the edubloggercon. Saturday and Sunday night I did alright getting the sleep and exercise I needed, but after that it was the usual conference whirlwind of staying out too late and then staying up polishing presentations even later. The flight home was another ten hour nightmare (but I was still better off than many of the other edubloggers trying to get home on Wednesday). I got home at 3 am Thursday morning. The following day was lost to resting and recuperating - and things that needed to get done at home. Friday was a mad dash to take care of critical projects, and I again skipped my workout - always a mistake when it comes to my stress level. Since then Saturday and Sunday, though more relaxed and healthy, have been a rush to catch up on email, RSS feeds, and conference follow up. Finally, I am writing my final NECC reflections… but I’m exhausted. I’m ready to put the excitement behind me. (And I hope you’ll excuse this bit of self-indulgent blogging. The exhaustion has turned out to be a big part of the conference experience for me.) [...] [...] I’m exhausted. Nearly four days after returning from NECC in Atlanta and I’m still exhausted.

Sat, 23 Jun 2007 08:56:45 +0000 http://edtechlife.com/?p=1781#comment-127395 [...] I arrived without a hitch in the airport at Atlanta yesterday. From reading the posts in Hitchhikr, it seems many from around the country are beginning to arrive also. Mark Wagner wasn’t as lucky as me. His plane, coming from the John Wayne airport, had to be redirected to Los Angeles. At last post, he had a two hour delay. I hope he makes it in okay, ready for the edublogger conference today.
