7:00-7:15: Make coffee while eating... weaken and turn on the news beforehand. Am saved from getting sucked in by the fact that it is pledge week on NPR. Normally I would be annoyed. Today I am grateful.
7:15-9:00: Work on article-related notes. They go slowly, but I do get the work on. Best of all, I resist the siren song of the internet. A sense of accomplishment swells within me. The morning light slants in beautifully and lights up the oranges to the point that I am compelled to stop and take a picture. This looks like it's going to be the perfect day, the antithesis of yesterday's mnyeh.
Then, it all goes to hell...
9:00: Begin to work on lecture, powerpoint and quiz for 11 o'clock class.
10:00: omigod I have to be in class in an hour and I'm still home, in my pajamas, and not showered!
11:00: Arrive in class (miraculously, on time) and give a bang-up lecture. If only more than half the class had bothered to show up. C'MON, FOLKS! I've got war, famine, and plague! What more do you want from me?
12:30: procure lunch (since I ran out of time to make it)
12:30: Wolf down two-thirds of lunch while answering e-mails.
1:00: College-level committee meeting. I feel vaguely competent.
2:30: Grade quizzes from class #1. Check e-mail. Prep for class #2. Eat last third of lunch.
3:30: Class #2. Also went well. Strangely, they were not prepared for the quiz, even though a simple glance at the syllabus combined with being able to count to two (seruiously: that's all the math that was required) would have told them that this "surprise" quiz was, in fact, an inevitability today.
5:00: Grade quizzes from class two while counseling two different grad students who "just have a quick question" that turned into half an hour apiece.
6:15: Ride bike to off-campus non-work-related thingy.
6:30: Thingy, plus grocery shopping
8:00: Ride home.
8:15: Dinner. Some TV. Check e-mail again.
9:15: Realize that, though I got my 90 minutes of work on my article done, nowhere in the 12 hours since then did I find two freaking thirty-minute blocks of time in which to complete the other tasks.
9:30-10:00: Blog about that. Because everyone likes to read about self-pity. Resolve to do better, and try to realize that today, I did the best I could with the time at my disposal. But that's not very much time at all.
