long week....

working at Friends five days, yesterday returned home very tired after final class ended at 3:10, and was asleep around 6, slept until 10, woke feeling heavy, but slept decently for the rest of the night.
Nothing in the way of social life, except on Tuesday, going to the Assembly benefit, party, fun, but did not stay much longer then presentation, tired and had work on Wednesday. Other days, simply home and asleep.
Today will be different: plan to go to Jack to hear the three pianists do their version of Wintereise, should be fun, if not very faithful to Schubert. A few people that I know are going to sing one of the songs, sometimes very inventive stuff arrives out of these choices, sometimes they are simplistic. Nevertheless, looking forward to it--I really enjoy going to Jack, and also like the idea of it.. Still have not visited the bar around the corner, Holy Hops I think it is called, each time I decide I might want to go in there a bit intimidated. But soon (i think).
I also have the option to go to a reception a little earlier at Five Myles---this is an invitation to the anti gentrification group that I belong to. Can stay from 6 to 7; then should be off to Jack. The space is within walking distance of Five Myles, albeit a fairly long walk. But you know how I love walking in Brooklyn.  Still not sure whether I will go to Five Myles or not, might be too much for one day.
Tomorrow, will possibly see the play Slut at Dixon Place, one of the seniors at Friends, Willa, has an important role in it. Sold out on the web, but usually these things are fairly easy to get into. Money is fairly expensive, $40.00, but will do it if possible, then meet Robin for dinner at our normal place.
Not much else to say, yesterday's last two periods, both seventh grade classes, some of the same kids, left me really feeling exhausted---yet today, proud of myself for getting through them. Kids are all over the place---all arms and legs, and seem uninterested in the fact that the two last periods might leave an older person tired. Yes, they are very  nice kids, individually--but together---anyway, feel good about ultimate result.
No idea how much work for next week, could be I will be writing in this blog every day, perhaps not if work comes through. We will see...
