The next two days are going to be insanely long. Get to work at 7:30, teach all day, then a break of about an hour, then parent-teacher conferences from 4:30 to 7:45 on both Monday and Tuesday, meaning I won’t be home until probably 8:30 or so each day, at which point I will collapse into bed and attempt to die. Wednesday will be an e-learning day but the morning is still available for more parent-teacher conferences, although from what I’m told the Wednesday hours are generally very sparsely attended.

I am genuinely hoping that most of my students skip school for the next couple of days, because I cannot imagine the deficit of patience I will be working with by the end of the day on Tuesday, in particular, and bloggery before Wednesday evening seems … unlikely.

Which means I’ll come home both days and write a thousand-word essay, no doubt.
