Mar. 25th, 2024 08:05 pmToday has been pretty good, actually!
This is especially good because somewhere in the last night/this morning phase I felt _extremely_ con-crashy, worse than I have in ages and ages. Tired was some of it (you could probably have guessed from my con-report that I didn't sleep much at YTS) but also just like...being in community and having little responsibility beyond "lead songs, sing songs other people lead, draw pictures" is really good, and being not in that space kinda sucks.
We're having a weird week at school --Friday is a day off, because *some* people can get their religious holidays off without being scrutinized by HR1. And then Tues and Weds is MCAS test days, and so the schedule is all funny with half-days for students and test proctoring and etc. I hope that I will do a bunch of grading, since I have a higher-than-average amount of prep time this week, but realistically I will settle for just spending that time reading books.
But because of how weird the schedule is, I set my classes up very carefully and in a way that put all the prep work frontloaded to this morning. Luckily, it was a surprisingly easy prep --Geometry could do the activity I made last year, and Algebra could do the assessment prepared by a different teacher, and neither actually needed that much modification from me. Now every Algebra class this week will just be supervising that little project, and for the few Geometry students I see (they are mostly in a grade which is testing and so are exempt from class) they can just work on their chromebooks and I can politely pretend not to see they're also on their phones.
After school was a union meeting that I only half paid attention to (looking at staffing decisions for next year's contract negotiations) and then Clayton-work-bestie and I walked home together and chatted about some Work Goss. He's having a tough time, but I was pleased to be able to help him out.
Then Elishka stopped by for a bit to drop off the next Murderbot and a little dice present they had gotten for me at PAX. It was good time pies to get to see them and chat a little bit about our respective too-busy-aah lives. A few minutes of video games, and then pack up my bag for tomorrow and head out to Austin's for the evening, a thing I have not done in _ages_ --he's pretty consistently just been coming to my place for like...the last five years (since until he and Bee bought their new house, I tended to live closer to his workplace than he did). I'm excited for it, and it was nice to walk over while reading.
I hope the rest of the week manages to have good things in it, and accomplishing things. For me and you both. <3
