Monday

This week I am taking my cue from Pastor Jan, who shared informally last Sunday about her week. This is hardly a typical week for me (it's the last week before a 3-week intersession/break). But anyway.

Mine will go day-by-day. Here's Monday:

6:30 - shower, dress, breakfast (bacon and eggs, toast, yogurt w/fresh strawberries).
7:15 - drive 30 minutes and 18.7 miles to work.
7:45 - Kiss and Ride duty. Open doors and make sure children get inside safely.
8:15 - Set up chorus chairs and music. Help colleague carry juice and donuts. Copy CD of accompaniments.
8:45 - 2 chorus rehearsals, 45 minutes each. This week, boys' sectionals - 1 for 6th grade, 1 for 5th. In between, talk to admin. about a behavior situation (wouldn't sit where the chorus needed him to.)
10:45 - meet with L., my co-director,re: how sectionals went. Answer emails re: church organ, SOL testing schedule, FGMEA constitutional amendment. Start writing sub plans for Tuesday.
11:30 - lunch with 15 6th graders.
12:00 - Make sure everyone has rides for All-County Chorus practice this afternoon. Double-check building use form for spring concert. Take another stab at sub plans. Interrupted by:
12:30 - Dismissal. Make sure nobody gets plowed over.
12:45 - Team Leaders meeting. Discuss how we can help our teams plan and collaborate more effectively.
2:15 - Staff meeting on budget update.
2:30 - Leave early to go to All-County rehearsal at a nearby school.
4:30 - Come back to Dogwood to finally finish my sub plans. Attempt to hex at least 3 printers for technical failures. Answer emails re: AGO, Church finance, piano tuning.
6:00 - Go to South Lakes High School to: walk the Lake Thoreau trail (a beautiful 2 miles and my only hope of excersize today). Stop at CVS, Starbucks, and SunTrust along the walk. Then,
Varsity Boys Soccer vs. TC Williams. Had about 10 former students on the field, and 4 from the travel team I currently work with. SOUTH LAKES WINS! (For the NY people reading this, this is the equivalent of Whitman beating Fairport in, well, anything). I love SLHS but Williams is at least twice the size and this usually isn't a fair match.
9:15 - Meet Fasih after game, give needed college aid forms.
9:45 - Home. Email. Read. Bed by 10:15.

Tuesday will be a very different day.
