a day in the life...

my days are BUSY!  there are so many things going on all the time, and most of the time, it's so much fun.  here's what a typical workday looks like for me:

6:05am - hit the snooze alarm once or twice before getting up and getting ready for work.  
7:03am - catch the bus that takes us teachers to school every morning from the little corner cafe.
7:30am - arrive at work, prepare for the day
7:55am - in come the students, and there's no stopping until...
3:15pm - dismiss the students to their families/drivers/etc
3:30pm - this varies depending on what day it is:

Monday - faculty meeting then exercise

Tuesday - work in my classroom

Wednesday - Portuguese Lesson then exercise

Thursday - Portuguese Lesson

Friday - Math Club (i'm in charge of 8 third graders who need extra help with math)

4:40pm - take the teacher bus back to moema (unless it's monday or wednesday, then maggie and i work out and take a taxi home)

so i usually get in about 5:15pm (later on the days i work out).  then, depending on how everyone feels/weather, we may go out for a few beers and dinner, or just eat in at our apartments.  then i'm grading papers and/or relaxing on the couch until bedtime.  

thank goodness for the weekends when we get to slow down a bit.  

who am i kidding?  the only day we slow down is sundays.  ;)
