Thursday

Well, not normal. But a little relief.

6:30 - Up and get ready. No need for breakfast.
7:00 - Drive time.
7:30 - Staff breakfast in the Library. Superintendent comes. Good news about AYP from last year. It's a long story for another post.
8:15 - Morning Meeting in a 3rd grade.
8:45 - Regular day begins. 1st hour class is out testing. 2nd class is late due to testing and needs a little extra recess. Only end up teaching 1 and 1/2 hours of actual music. Also, an hour with fifth grade science. Use extra time to: clean a couple of shelves in my storage room, meet with strings teacher about the instrument grant, answer more emails, file forms. Use lunch to: shop for a phone (finally something good from Sprint: a $200 voucher for an upgrade!) Also, make final arrangements for middle school chorus teacher to come meet 6th grade students who want to register for middle school in 7th grade. Proofread bulletin. Find midi file so I can listen to new hymn.
3:15 - Leave at the bell for a change. Get cash and gas. Drive to Alexandria (blissfully, only 35 minutes today. Almost a record for a weekday afternoon!)
4:00 - Eat at Atlantis. Read the post, almost all of it.
5:00 - Practice at church for 2 hours. Walk to Starbucks for madeleines and a latte.
7:30 - Choir practice for hour and a half.
9:15 - I'm home. Watch Hell's Kitchen. Make 3 new rehearsal CD's for All-County kids who lost/broke theirs. 12-year-olds: gotta love 'em!
10:30 - Ready for bed.
