long

week and glad it is Friday.  I look nice ;-)  I have on my painted purple/decorative shirt (art fair), black skirt, black tights and shoes--wrapped here at home in my black cashmere (ala Beijing) shawl.  Tired as all get out.  I stayed at school last night to listen to the choir and orchestra concert.  Being a public forum, I'll decline to comment about the concert here.  It was nice to see so many of my students on stage and in the audience.

The time waiting, I graded papers, entered grades, made copies for next week, began organizing my Tuesday lecture. (yeah, it was just yesterday that I wove my way through "Form").  I had a Humanities meeting after school as well, so the day stretched into the night. I left Pioneer shortly after 9:30pm.  It was good to come home!

The alarm rang too early and I was up and out the door.  It was a beautiful orange and yellow tree filled day.  I primarily noticed on the drive home (Jackson Rd!).  Seemed like pods of kids were missing in classes (nice day + Friday) and there was word there was an off campus grillfest in the park at lunch--several seniors had trouble finding their way back to school.  I myself was out of lunch items, so I was particularly delighted when the orchestra kids invited me to their party at lunch.  BIG SUBMARINE SANDWICHES!!!   Later on my MT&T class was full of pizzazz.  They were writing a blues piece and working on lyrics.  They definitely got the hang of the whiney lyrics ;-)  Tonight is the big football game between Pioneer and their arch rivals--Huron.  Both bands will be marching but I will be home (hopefully in bed) before half time.  

Hope all of you had beautiful Fridays.  Until later...........
