Teacher entrance, a.k.a. "you made it in"
Goal for the week was in at 7AM every day (an hour to set up, prep, get my head wrapped around each class's plan for the day, half an hour of see-if-students-stop-by, then class starts). Actual times in: Monday, 7AM; Tuesday, 7:08; Wednesday, 7:15; Thursday, 7:34; Friday, 8:02. If you look at Akiachak's position in Alaska, it really ought to be in the next time zone over (Alaska's one big time zone). So while we still have a little sun at 5:30pm, 8am is as pitch black as midnight. Mornings aren't easy. It's really cold, I've been up late grading and making quizzes, and the walk in isn't something you get all excited about and want to just leap out of bed and tackle. Goal for next week is to figure out mornings. Today the snooze button and I went far enough that breakfast was out (bad idea, bad bad bad idea) and the morning shower almost didn't happen (side effect of bundling for winter: daily shower is not optional). This has to change. Dunno if it's leaving a little work for the morning so I get to bed earlier, or going for a walk in the evening so I don't lie in bed feeling all cooped up and stir crazy instead of sleeping. Time to start experimenting. But first: quiz day!
