The week that lies ahead…Forgive me if this is too boring.
Today, Sunday: I didn’t do any of the grading-related stuff I needed to do, including writing some of my quarter reports on students, but I’ll have time over the next couple of days. I went running, compiled my November calendar of availability for NLNRU, and filed my online CV with their faculty review system–hope I did this right. We did some picking up and tidying. Tonight, we’re having a couple of friends over for dessert and a board game or two. Need to move at least one more load of laundry and get the clean sheets on the bed.
Monday: I have the morning at SA to work on quarter reports and prep; two classes in the afternoon; a major email to get out to NLNRU advisees. Home around 4, evening out with Stubb; no plans yet.
Tuesday: A special schedule means I have another morning without classes, very useful since I will still have quarter reports to write and quarter grades to finalize. Possibly also some phone calls home for students with low grades. Class (which will be observed by my evaluator), department meeting, then down to NLNRU for student meetings. Probably finished around 7, then run at the track. Stubb will take the Snork Maiden to soccer practice and give her dinner; I’ll probably see them both around her bedtime.
Wednesday: SA classes in the morning, last-minute adjustments to grades and reports, will leave after lunch (student club meeting) for NLNRU office hours and evening class. Long day–home by 10:30 PM.
Thursday: Busy SA teaching day, including student club meeting at lunch. Home at 4, dinner with Stubb and the Snork Maiden before an evening special event with Stubb.
Friday: SA classes in morning, prep time in afternoon. Probably meet Stubb at the SM’s soccer practice at 4 and go for a run. Quiet dinner at home.
Saturday: Late-morning soccer game, followed by an afternoon session for prospective families at Starfleet Academy. We’re going to this chiefly to try to get the Snork Maiden excited about applying to SA for next year.
Sunday: Stubb has a theremin gig out of town, and I’ll probably take the Snork Maiden to the SA middle-school musical production, meeting up with my colleague Natasha B., who has a daughter in the same grade.
Looking over the week, it doesn’t seem too bad–just some long days. At least I get to spend two evenings out doing things with Stubb.
