difference three days make. Thursday around 7 in the morning, I receive a call from Friends---they need me to sub that day. Amazing! On the fourth day of school. Not ready at all, so rushed through bath and beyond and got there in an hour (actually less) Got to see all the faculty, very warmly welcomed back. Nice day---went home and rested and prepared for Friday, a day for which I was actually scheduled to sub at Friends (senior day meant many teachers on the senior trip) Nice day yesterday, ending in a fun (but somewhat exhausting) homework session with about twenty 8th graders at the top of their form. There are always some "hypers" in the group, but they are actually the most fun. Really like that group, looking forward to working with them again. Returned home after work, rested, no trip to Brooklyn or Lower East Side. Next scheduled day there is Thursday (maybe sooner, who knows); it was really good to be back.
Of course everything changes on days when that structure is strong---often feel like a different person. Everything happens in the present---must continue that way.
Rest of day (Saturday) free---may go to see my friend Steve talk at Molasses, a book store in Brooklyn, It is part of the Assembly group get together. Have to stop now, really getting hungry, and baseball game should be on soon, have to find a bar that will play it. Will report soon,
