A Stark Contrast

I have noticed somewhat of a difference in my schedule from last week to this week. I think that a play-by-play can better illustrate my point.

Last week:

• Wake-up: 5:15 am
• Drive to bus stop/eat: 6:05 am
• Arrive at bus stop: 6:23 am
• Ride bus to work (usually standing up, trying to avoid awkward stares): 6:27-7:02 am
• Run to avoid sprinklers and scary homeless man in park: 7:03 am
• Arrive at work: 7:10 am
• Respond to emails from unreasonable parents:7:10-7:30 am
• Unlock door to let hyper students in classroom: 7:35 am
• Attempt to hold once hyper students attention for last days of class: 7:45 am-12:15 pm
• Re-respond to now outraged parents: 12:15-1:00 pm
• Meeting to address meeting schedule: 1:15 pm
• Supplementary meeting to address prior meetings: 2:30 pm
• Meeting to address future meetings: 3:00pm
• Lesson plan/grade: 3:00 pm-eternity
• Arrive home: 5:45pm
• Get ready for showcase (end of the year performance): instantaneously
• Leave for Orpheum (back to Phoenix): 6:00 pm
• Ride in elevator with parents of student who failed my class: 6:45 pm
• Mingle awkwardly with parents prior to performance, while chowing down on "light meal", and stuffing goodies into my purse to keep James entertained for the evening: 6:55 pm
• Watching the 3 act showcase performance in the stiflingly hot Orpheum theater: 7:00-9:30 pm
• Escaping from the parking garage without paying: 9:40 pm
• Arrive home and crash(just to do it all again tomorrow): 10:45 pm

This week:

• Wake-up: 6:45 am-ish
  
  Do you see a slight difference? I think I may actually get to see family and friends (husband included) on a day that the banks are open! Hurray!
