Updates

End of Weekend Anxiety It's that time of the weekend again, sitting on Sunday night in front of my computer, gradebook is updated, lesson plans are almost done, and I have not gotten nearly as much done for this week as I wanted to. And I am worried about it. This happens every week. Do I have enough to make it through Monday? Pretty sure. Tuesday? Yes for Algebra 1 only. The other two, Intermediate Algebra and Geometry, will have to wait until my prep period tomorrow and Monday night after Wesely. On a more positive note, the weekend was a good one. Here's the run down... Friday: "Date Night" Not really. We didn't do anything that special. We went out to this hole in the wall turned jewel of a restuarant that specializes in vegetarian and seafood chinese food. Yummy. We got the "dinner for 2" and had a ton of food to take home. Afterwards we walked to a coffee shop that I drive by everyday on the way home from school to check it out. I had fun finding the hidden plugs in the plants and hanging down the walls. We were the only table that forgot to bring a laptop with them for the free wi-fi. Saturday We parted ways for a few hours. Grant joined the Cal Sailing Club and had his first lesson. I went to church to sing. The choir directors are really music professionals with lots of cool connections and they put together a music workshop day. The morning was spent singing together and the afternoon had workshops on circle singing, African dancing, percussion, voice technique, and music theory. I only stayed until lunch and then I met up with Grant at a park near the Berkeley Marina to help clean BAWT gear. (BAWT = Bay Area Wilderness Training- an organization that trains adults to take kids on backpacking trips and then allows them to rent the gear for free). We saw two people from our WLT trip in June. It was fun to be outside putting up tents, looking for damage, making sure everything was numbered then take them down. Later, was a movie. Yeah for Elephant Pharmacy $1 DVD rentals. Sunday Jenn and Craig take II Friends of ours at church got married in CT in August (that’s where they are from) but today they reaffirmed their vows during the worship service and had a special lunch party afterwards. It was great. They both wore their wedding outfits and we had a bunch of visitors to service. Afterwards Grant and I took a short drive to part of Oakland we’d never been to before to see if we would like to move there. PSR housing is really not up to code. And if there were ever an earthquake strong enough, this building would fall off its foundation. More about that another time. That brings us to Sunday Lesson Planning... yuck.
