The Next Few Days

I got up thinking that today was Friday and thus my day off from school work! But, alas, I soon realized that it is indeed Saturday and school work is mandatory. However, I am much cheered by thinking there are only two classes left. Two classes seem doable. It is not that I dislike Italian but that I am tired of school!

Ok, schedule for my benefit for the next few days. Feel free to read along if you are interested.

Today:

• type out in detail how the class went. This will be the bones of the essay due on Thursday. {This I did as an entry and you will find it one entry back.} It needs some fleshing out but the bones are there.
• look at the essay I wrote for the first semester and see if there is anything I can boiler-plate from there to the current essay. {I have done this. There isn’t much but the outline of that last essay works well with this one}
• ride my bike. {I have done 15 minutes.}

Sunday:

• Using the cards from my last oral report as a guide, construct this new speech which will be almost the same as the last one but with more detail!
• practice saying it
• ride my bike.

Monday:

• Practice the speech
• continue working on the five-page essay
• ride my bike

Tuesday morning:

• practice the speech
• give the speech in class

Wednesday:

• work like a madwoman on getting the five-page paper done
• print out the pictures that the teacher took

Thursday morning:

• read over the five-page paper and make sure there are no misspellings
• staple it together and be sure there is a cover sheet and an academic honesty statement sheet* at the end.
• Put it into a folder with the photographs.
• go to class and hand it in

* This is something new this semester. It is basically a short statement  saying that I know what academic honesty means, that what I am turning in is my own work and anything I have used from another source is fully disclosed. I am not going to have anything, I don’t think, since this is largely a paper on my own experience and my own reflections on the lesson I gave.

QUOTATION: If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it!
