Running on Empty

One of my classes started whining about when they might get their book reports back today. Then I described what the next 48 hours of my life was going to look like and they stopped.

• I stayed after school to grade my social studies tests and put grades in the computer so that I could leave for the weekend with grades for three out of five classes completed.
• When I came home I started my grad school work (reading one chapter from the world's most boring textbook and making an outline of my research proposal, which is due tomorrow).
• At 9:00 I am chaperoning the first three hours of a lock-in at my practicum site (which I now think I may skip because I am so tired).
• At midnight I will come home a sleep a few hours.
• I plan to get up around 6:00 a.m. to complete any grad school work not yet done, then I need to go to the local lab to have blood drawn for some screenings (which I have to fast 12 hours before, by the way).
• At 11:00 I will drive to Detroit for class, where I will be for three hours.
• I will arrive home about 6:00 p.m. and at that point I will start grading their book reports.
• Grades are due at noon on Monday, so I guarantee they will be returned that day.

It's going to be a long weekend. At least I hope it will be.
