Judy has a meeting with the two principals today.  She gets the chance to discuss next year’s schedule and class load.  The way her classes are scheduled from now until the end of the year, she has no planning period at all during the day.  She wanted to let the principals know she wouldn’t have time to prepare any programs, with any grade level.  Naturally this is not good news.  They’ve become accustomed to having some entertaining programs with contributions from Judy almost weekly.  Her schedule this year can’t be helped, but now that they know what they created with her schedule, they’ll figure out a way to reduce it for next year.

I teach my morning classes at BHSFIC, and then head to lunch.  There are some new faces in the room, and one of them is discussing Dallas vs. Ft. Worth dining options.  What????  It’s a faculty member from Trinity Valley HS in Ft. Worth, scouting out a trip for students from Ft. Worth to Beijing.  She’ll be here for a week.  Maybe I’ll get more time to visit with her next week.

Back home, I take a nap and kill time till Judy gets home.  She calls to let me know she’s worn out, and ready for a relaxing evening at home.  No wild times in Beijing tonight!    We finished up 7 seasons of “West Wing” earlier this week.  I’ve loaded up “Lost” so we’ll have several months of working through that series.  Thanks again Courtney!
