I was really upset when I got to school this morning. Today was officially Scrabble club day (yay) but when I walked into my library, there was 20+ boxes of workbooks left all over my tables. I got to school early so that I could get ready for the club today, but I spent the morning moving boxes out of the way. What’s worse is that these were boxes of workbooks that I had already received – so they were duplicates. I only needed some algebra workbooks and they sent those along with everything else. My club was so full this morning that I had to turn students away. Club went ok, but I had my hands full as always.
I wrote a terse email to textbook person and explained the situation with workbooks. Thankfully she has some people that came and picked them up today so I didn’t have to store them. Matt was there this morning so helped with club and then shelved books for me. I spent most of the day working on an orientation lesson for one of the English classes. I’m also trying to finish my $5000 Laura Bush Grant book order which is harder than it seems. I actually have to order 10-15% over that amount because they may not be able to actually send all the books on my list.
Matt has to get moved in this week. I tried to help him at his apartment, but it’s a nightmare. Remember that he has lived as a bachelor for many, many years. It seems that he has saved every scrap of paper and piece of mail over the past 13 years or so. I found a receipt dated 2000. Since a bunch of the stuff is old bills and whatnot, I can’t really sort through it very well so I haven’t been much help. I’ve been doing some work here at the house instead. I’ve been cleaning out things, moving furniture around, and making room for Matt’s stuff.
