Dropped another $30 on an A string for the cello I hadn't touched in 3 years so I could play Pomp & Circumstance with a couple of students for graduation (bringing the total to almost $90 for strings since getting my tax refund...the first to go was, of course, the G string).
Spent two hours after school on a Friday to get a student who's ADHD meds had worn off up to passing in my class.
Bought 13 yellow shirts at $3 apiece plus t-shirt paint so my "family," now dubbed the T-rex-araptors, could match on the family field day next Monday.
Went in to work with a debilitating headache and general malaise, crossing my fingers that the expired Advils would kick in.
Stayed at school until 6:15 PM (minus a lunch outing for Excedrin and a quick trip to retrieve my son so students could babysit) for a "self-assessment" meeting for the school, where in students, parents, and teachers assessed the school's standing according to
New Schools Project rubrics.
