All this week I have been taking a seminar that is designed to get me ready to teach my classes that start next week. I’ve been told that it takes a few hours to prepare for a 50 minute class, and they weren’t kidding! This evening, I have been working on creating my lesson plan for Audience Analysis. I only have 25 minutes prepared, and it took me an hour and a half. I have so much information that I won’t have any difficulty filling the 50 minutes, but it’s difficult to organize it cohesively and know what I’m going to say and know what I’m going to get the class to talk about. It’s now after midnight, and I’m calling it quits for tonight. I’ll finish it tomorrow.

On the upside, I got some things accomplished on my lunch hour today. I turned in my W4, I9, direct deposit form, and I got some other forms filled out and turned in. Now I just need to find a way to get to the health center. They’re only open from 9-11:45AM and 1-4PM. Unfortunately, my seminar is from 9-12PM and 1-5PM. This is a bit of a problem.

I got some more things put away in my apartment, and I got a shelf hung up! I have two more, but I’m going to wait until I know my neighbor isn’t home. I feel bad pounding on the wall that we share.

More later…
