Or super substitute? You might think so if you saw my schedule for tomorrow, which began as two science eighth grade coverages and an advisory, and now includes proctoring a test for the last period, and two kindergarden science classes between the eighth grade classes. You have got to be kidding me! Well, if the staff thinks I am super sub, might as well play the role. Hopefully, there will be some solid plans for the two kindergarden classes; that should make it a little easier for me. Hey, it's great to wanted! Right?
Last night attended the winter concert---which I do every year---this year however, really stood out.Excellent playing by the chamber musicians and then some beautiful singing from the upper school choirs. Colin, the teacher replacing Kristen, who has just given birth, has done a remarkable job with the students. It almost seemed like they were breathing together in some of the songs. A real sense of unity and sharing as the singing was going on. The feeling of togetherness radiated through the auditorium (at least that is my interpretation).
Also, tomorrow, a number of the senior find out if their early decision applications were accepted. Should be a meaningful time---I am hoping that most of those seniors who shared where they wanted to go with me, will get it. I know how meaningful it is to know where you are going this early in the year---so that they can get on with the rest of their lives. I still remember going to the mail box in March of 60, opening up the box, and seeing the letter from Hopkins, holding it in my hand and just sensing that it was an acceptance. A really great feeling!
Today, after some sessions will have to decide what to do this evening. Still some interesting options, if I am not too tired--just might want to rest up for tomorrow's "marathon". My friend Hannah is in a piece at the Harvey at BAM, and there is also the final day of the Petzoid retrospective at Lincoln Center. Maybe it might be best to head down to La Flaca and check in there, or simply "hang" at one of the two west side dive bars. Will have to see how all this plays out, and what message my body gives me when I finish the second session.
Will report soon.....
