Things That Make You Go, “Aaaaa!”
Here is my *abridged* To Do List for the rest of this week:-translate “In Christ Alone” into French (so folks can follow along when I sing it for the evangelistic church Christmas program in a week-and-a-half)
-decide how much of the biblical Jonah narrative I’m going to read (with excellent pictures, for the above mentioned Christmas program)
-sweep and treat my room’s wooden floor
-buy Christmas gifts for The Fam and my French family
-buy Eva (a German language assistant) a birthday present
-go to Eva’s birthday parties (tonight and Saturday)
-tutor a 10-year-old girl in English for the first time
-prepare for my friend Mary Ann’s visit this weekend
-help Audrey with her math, English, and possibly physics homework (yes, in French)
-watch the second half of Gone With the Wind with Kerstin (another German assistant)
-prep. my medicine information for when I see the doctor on Friday (I need refills)
-prepare to be observed duirng one of my classes on Friday (well, the teacher's being observed, but during my teaching time. Hmm.)
-and of course, go see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ASAP (with Helen, an English assistant, and/or Mary Ann)
-…Oh yes, there’s more!
As you can see (I hope), these are all good stressors. I’m really happy with what fills my days these days (…these days…), though they’re often very full, causing a little bit of, “Aaaaa!”

Sounds like fun!!
You and your time management skills are in my prayers.
Love you.
Good to see you're still making lists.
I guess European life hasn't taken its full mellowing effect yet. I guess that's probably the last thing on your list:
#2674 - Relax and enjoy my time in France.
Just kidding. All in good fun of course.
I'm laughing too.
I really thought that I would have all kinds of time over here, what with having only a part-time job, but apparently not! I'm still list-making me, after all.
Teachers, no matter how many "hours" they work, have more than a full-time job.
Way more.
I agree, Anne...Teachers should get paid way more. But the great thing is that teaching is not a "Clock-in clock-out job" it is a ministry! (That is what they told us at our last conference). Teachers and parents are 80% of the influence in kids' lives, they said. So that is worth it!
Kate, do you speak only French at home?
Kate,
I watched the first half on Gone with the Wind with the German assistant at my school, and her birthday and birthday party are on Saturday...crazy! And, I have to wait and watch Harry at home with my little brother...
But, maybe we can accomplish some things together, like shopping, partying, and translating?
