6 of 8

Sorry for the absence...and for the lack of new pictures. The truth is I don't have anything new to say right now. The playoff run is in full swing, both teams are doing excellent...and I have spent 6 of the last 8 nights late at school. All of our games are now in Rochester, and if the girl's win their next one, they will be moving on to state tourney in Minneapolis. In fact...the first game of girl's state and the boys sectional championship game are the same day. That could mean that on Thursday the 19th, instead of spending our final chance at a rehearsal together for our Large Group Competition on the following Monday, we will be out of school playing in Minneapolis at 11:00 am and swinging back through Rochester for the guys game at 8:00 pm. Exciting, but tiring.

I'll spare you all the details because talking about it frustrates me. I love my job and my students, but the fact is...all of theses hours are hours away from my family, my fitness center and my other job. I'm tired to the bone, and we've got a long way to go...another 2-3 weeks of this insane schedule and it feels as if the powers that be take it me fore-granted in their assumptions that we can make all these games. I feel they have very little respect for the amount of time and personal life I am having to give up for this...none of which is in my contract.

Ah well...hopefully I'll have something more interesting (or at least something from life outside work) next time.
