Is anyone else frustrated with this class?

I don't know if it's me or spring fever, or the end of the year is just coming too fast. I am not at all interested in this course. I feel that I can complete the activities from the book, but they have little to do with what we discuss in class. It also seems that we are reading a lot of articles regarding becoming a principal from the late 80's and early 90's. I'm not saying that good practice should be this year's research. Many of our best practices in administration are tried and true methods--I just don't feel I should be reading an article containing antiquated back to school night parent letters.
If I need to be shook up a little, please let me know. I just feel that all the work I am putting into the interviews and activities goes unnoticed. If we are supposed to be emailing the assignments, why aren't we discussing them the next class? I guess I just need instant gratification!! I want to know that all the hard work is going towards a cause, and right now I don't feel it is.
This is one of the reasons I created this blog. I wanted to be able to write about things that will jump start conversation. I also wanted to be able to use this as a jumping point for clarification on confusing issues....so many times I have sat silent because I feel like I have no idea what the heck the teacher is talking about (Wildman mainly). This is the perfect opportunity to make sure we are all on the same page and help each other through the tough times--kinda like I am having right now. I need to have purpose to what I am doing, and as of late, I just don't feel that it's there.
