Yea! It’s a teaching day for me. When I leave the apartment I’m not sure of my schedule today. I know I’m meeting the 10th grade class, but I don’t think the 11th graders are meeting. They’re all taking AP tests at various times for the next two weeks, and when they aren’t taking tests, they have “self-study.” Sure enough, when I sign in, I’m told that 11th grade classes won’t start meeting regularly until the week of May 19. Even then, the 11th graders will only meet their non-AP classes on a morning schedule. They won’t have any afternoon classes. I’ll have an adjusted schedule of one combined class of 11th graders on Thursday and then again on Friday.
Since the majority of the students in my Guitar Club and the Orchestra Club are 11th graders, we don’t meet the clubs either. Without a club meeting, I’m able to attend the regularly scheduled faculty meeting. We get a BHSFIC calendar for next year. Now I can begin to think ahead about our travel opportunities for 2014-15.

I spend time today, getting hotel and flight reservations set-up for Baton Rouge when we go back to the US in July. I also needed a hotel reservation for San Antonio for TBA. I have to attend a judging clinic this summer if I want to keep my judging credentials current in Texas.
Judy has another full day of classes, as well as performances at the BISS assembly with one of her grade levels. When she gets home, she’s beat and ready to crash. We finish off the busy week with a couple of episodes of “Lost” (we’re finishing Season 5.)
