Weekly Wishes 2024A: Week 4

It feels like every day I have to roll out of bed and start sprinting. There’s too much to do, and not enough time to get everything done.

Here’s what I’ve been working on this week:

• Pick up W2s Monday.
• Put laundry away.
• Tutoring after school Tuesday.
• Finish and return Patina.
• Check out new books from the library.
• ESOL assignment turned in Tuesday.
• Shoot and post a Patreon video.
• Invite colleagues to Capitol Day.
• Livestream Wednesday.
• Check with officers about February meeting vs Capitol Day.
• Write & shoot script for the Nouns video.
• Video premiere Thursday afternoon.
• Community meeting Thursday.
• Write a “wins” post for Friday.
• Livestream Friday.

Three completely new students have been added to one of my English classes, and they never have a school laptop on the first day, which means that they can’t do most of what we’re doing, and means also that I need to walk them through signing up for Google Classroom and the other websites we use – all of which takes time away from helping other students with THEIR work.

I am feeling perpetually behind in the new class. I’m barely keeping up, and I’m not familiar with the material. I can read fast, but so much of the course material is videos that I don’t have a chance to preview it.
