what do i do with all this time?
this last week has been pretty busy… it was the last week of the season and we had to make up a game from the week before because of the fires, so we had 3 games this week. i didn’t leave work till 7pm on monday, 9pm on tuesday, 6pm on wednesday, 7pm on thursday after planning senior night for the girls’ last game, and then just when you think it’d get better, i had to be at school at 6:30am on friday for a CMC conference in palm springs, so that was a 12 hour day too, and then i went there again on saturday for another 10 hours. it’s also the end of the quarter so all the grades are due tomorrow morning so i spent today trying to catch up on all that paperwork which i haven’t had time for… -sigh- yeah.... that means i worked a 7-day workweek (70 hours at school plus all the grading i’m doing today) and am starting the next week tomorrow so that will be 12 consecutive days. yeesh! at least this week will (hopefully) be less hectic because of the end of the volleyball season. i still have to plan a few more activities with them though…
however, now that the volleyball season is over, i think i’m gonna have an unprecedented amount of time on my hands… i’m done teaching at 1:30 and then i have an hour to get all my work graded and recorded and prepared for the next day, which is -totally- doable if i stay focused. that means at 2:30, when school lets out, i will be free until 6am the next day.
some of the things i want to do with my time:
- learn tagalog
- pursue a math degree (at csusb?)
- get back into doing pottery (which would involve picking up my pottery wheel from carynn’s house
- work out and play sports in the drayson center (thus making some friends who share the same hobbies as me)
- do more photography
- learn to cook more creatively
i almost bought a tagalog language book today but we’ll have to work on that some other way. maybe tagalog movies?
what i’ll probably end up doing first:
- playing my wii
- sleeping a lot to catch up from this 7-day work week with 12-hour days. sheesh. i worked half of this week!
- eating out more often because i can actually afford it now!
once the novelty of being able to nap wears off, i’m sure i’ll be motivated to be more active =)
but the only thing on my list that relates to this blog is that i will try to go back to posting my “photo of the day”. i’ll have to grow into it incrementally so i’ll probably start off with 2 photos weekly. i’m gonna start participating in “photofriday“ and other weekly photo contests.
and now that i’ve told you i’ll (hopefully) start doing it. yay for more hobbies!! =)
i’ll start off with just a few pictures of my friends. nothing horribly artistic but just a few of the ones i had on my camera from this weekend.
at the pizza party
at mu
and at mu again
and now… i have to get back to grading papers. urgh.
UPDATE: approx. 5 hours later… i’m done grading the pile on the left. the pile on the right is loose papers from students (who KNOW i don’t collect late work). now all i have to do is record it all and the report the grades back to the school. --sigh--
