1 shower.
2 shaved legs but only
1 nicked knee.
1 really nice encouragement card from
1 of the world's best pals.
2 trips to the copy room.
14 student schedule changes.
8 tardy students.
1 day of the students' return.
13 "when does this class get out?" queries.
3 class periods.
1 insanely busy prep period.
10 hours at work.
95 of my 180 students (with a 3% name retention rate).
1 blister from supposedly "comfortable" shoes.
23 minutes for lunch/bathroom break/set-up the next class/give a student their make-up summer homework/chat with two teachers who "just-popped-in"/a visit from old AP students (and still--I managed it all!).
1 really stressful and uncomfortable department chair duty email composition (why must some co-workers be so difficult?).
25 extra minutes of teaching tacked onto my day (did I mention how they extended the school day?)
2 Traffic Jams but only
7 late minutes due to said jams.
2 thoroughly enjoyable Visiting Teaching appointments.
13 hours from when I left my carport to when I pulled into it again.
1 cold cut turkey sandwich for dinner.
2 really tired legs.
1 blog post (the first in a really long time).
May I find some kind of normalcy in all of this sooner rather than later!
