Productive despite

I had the Spouse drop me off at the Downtown Transit Center train station at 9 am and took the train, and then the bus, out to the school. I got off the bus at 10:50 am. Not sure why the outbound journey should be shorter than the inbound, except for thickness of traffic, which didn't seem all that different to me. Maybe I'm missing something. (Oh, and the bus driver was the saint from last week again. I'm still tickled to know there is someone that fundamentally good out there.)

I went to the school, then the Fishbowl for training, then back to the high school campus again. The training was practically worthless, although I did realize something during it that I will try and blog on after dinner. However, I did get a copy of the materials for the SAT prep class (had to dig them out of the King of Pentacles's well-organized but completely full storage cabinet in what used to be his room). I also got to look at the official AP school score report. I'm very, very proud of some of my kids, especially Third, Tennis, and Debate. I'm also rather irked at a few of them. (Dammit, I taught Hyper better than that - although I'm quite willing to believe his explanation that he panicked on the test, on the Calc test in particular.) I still don't know whether I have a five from Random, though, since Bearville kids don't show up on our score report even though I taught the class.

The SLTM that was scheduled for Thursday and Friday has been cancelled - too many people couldn't make the reschedule. Eh, I get two days back. On the other hand, I will lose a workday Friday next week to the SAT prep class, so I will probably need to go in for at least part of the day next Tuesday to get my stuff in order (read: clean out my filing cabinet and my desk, because, damn, they're totally full right now).

Now I just need to figure out whether I want to try to hit the LotR exhibit tomorrow afternoon or Thursday afternoon. (It has to be this week, or else I won't get around to it at all.)
