Early day for me, and I’m out the door around 6:30. My knees are kinda creaky today, so I go out the front gate, and get a cab. This early, the trip takes about a half-hour, so I arrive with plenty of time to set-up my room and get materials in place. Some uses my classroom over the weekend for a large elementary choir (not from BHSFIC) so it’s always a tumbled mess with chairs and trash scattered everywhere.

Class goes well, and as usual, Orchestra Club is cancelled for this afternoon. Grade 12 students have mid-terms tomorrow, and the 10^th and 11 graders have some kind of after school meeting. I kill time on campus, finishing up some paperwork, eating lunch, and visiting with folks. I get back to the apartment around 2:30. I spend the rest of the afternoon making sure I have a good plan to the end of the semester. I’ll miss three classes to come home for Xmas, so I have to leave plans for someone to cover (unless like last year, they decide to let the students do self-study).
