TUESDAY:
Usually AM routine and drop off Child at school.
9-11--Office hours. Talked with a student who has less than a 2.0 GPA and is hoping to transfer to another school after getting her GPA up.
Quick grocery store stop, quick bite to eat, got changed.
11:35--Off to Towson!
11:30-2--Double Nik lesson!
2--Off to airport.
3:18--Pick up Job Candidate #3 at airport. I have no idea what he looks like, so I make up a cardboard sign with his name.
Make small talk on drive. He asks if we are going to go through any toll booths. Um...no.
4:30--Get candidate checked in at hotel.
Home briefly, have something to eat.
5:15--Take Child to dance. Just call me the Mom Taxi!
5:45-7:15--Junior I/II Jazz/Tap.
I watch them work on their routines and write in my diary.
Tap is to a jazzy version of "Please, Mr. Postman."
Jazz sounds like it is to "Doctor, Doctor, Give Me the News"
Home. Put Child to bed.
Put Self to bed, in anticipation of tough day ahead.

WEDNESDAY:
Usual. Drop off Child.
9:10--Great Works II. Finish "Candide."
10:20--Postcolonial Literature. Achebe's Things Fall Apart. Good class, but lose track of time and student has to point out to me that I'm out of time. Whoops!
11:50--Lunch with Job Candidate #3.
12:40--British Novels II. Dickens' Bleak House.
1:50--Job Candidate #3 teaches a class in which he talks about fonts. One of my colleagues pretty much falls in love with the guy when he announces the topic. I'm really wondering what the students are making of this class.
2:40-3:15--I breathe in and breathe out in the sanctity of my own office, doing my own thing, like looking at critical articles on Achebe.
3:20--Job Candidate #3's presentation of his own New Media Writing.
3:50--Job Candidate #3 interview.
5:10ish--Home. Eat dinner. Think about responding to conservative sort-of friend on FB who wrote something nasty about Planned Parenthood (and got back up from her other conservative friends) and then decide that there is NO point whatsoever in getting into it. Let her have her benighted p.o.v. (The thing I have in common with this person is child of same age.)
Jog on treadmill...pretty much right after eating, which may not be smart, but this is my only opportunity to exercise. My right big toe bone and achilles are bothering me a little. They may be trying to signal that there has been too much jogging and dancing of late (Fa!), and/or that I need new running shoes. Shower.
Briefly encounter Child and Husband, who have just returned from Child's hip-hop.
7:30-9:30--Last regular VagMon rehearsal. Thurs is dress, Fri/Sat are the shows! We also get our show t-shirts, which I like. I am now the proud owner of EIGHT t-shirts with the word "vagina" on them! I'll bet not every person can say that.
Home...to no one. Husband chose this night to go to bed at 9:30. Apparently he had a sore throat. I take about an hour to wind down, then join him.
