Judy has her usual busy day at BISS.  She spends a little time teaching her students, but much of the day is spent skulking her next “Clue” target.  No success today, but she has developed a plan for tomorrow.  She finishes up the day with an “Annie” rehearsal.  The rehearsal is normally on Friday afternoon, but tomorrow is a “Professional Development” day.  No students.

I head off to BHSFIC.  I’m excited because today, I’ll actually have a meeting of the “Orchestra Club”.  I arrive, sign in, and head over to the staff lunchroom for a quick lunch before “Guitar Club”.  After “Guitar Club”, I start setting up my classroom.  Some speakers elsewhere in the school have quit working, so the speakers in my room regularly “walk off”.  After I get set-up, I walk across the street for my regular BHSFIC Starbucks stop.  With my caffeine “stores” built up, I teach my two classes, and then move upstairs for “Orchestra Club”.  Several of the students stop by and let me know they have other club meetings today, or appointments, etc.  So we’re back to 7 students.  I begin to adjust my lesson plan.  I’ve got some great musicians, but it’s really tough to put it together if we don’t meet.  Today was our first meeting in 3 weeks.  The students are great, but it seems to be “baby steps” some weeks.
