We’re starting to settle into a routine. Now, for me at least, it’s about incremental changes to make sure I don’t slowly drown. I eat breakfast, try to get 7 or 8 hours of sleep, catch the bus with time to spare, and try to squeeze lesson planning into schedule cracks.
Today I was scheduled for an 11 hour day, and 10 hour stretches are going to be the norm on my time sheet, but it still feels like there isn’t enough time to plan, think, and pay attention, not to mention relax.
That slow stretching has caused its first casualty. On Monday, we learned that one of the corps members would be leaving, deciding the program wasn’t right for them. They’re the second to leave, the first because recovery from a knee injury would limit his participation.
