So instead, I'll write about the mundane part of life: work.
Most people don't know what my normal day looks like--and it's because I don't have a normal day. For example, this week:
Monday 7:30-6:30
Tuesday 7:30-6:30
Wednesday 8:45-6:30
Thursday 8:00-5:00,7:00-9:00
Friday 8:45-6:30
Saturday 9:00-3:00
Sunday 1:00-4:00
My day is supposed to start at 8:45 and end at 4:45 with a 1 hour lunch break. But as you can see, that never really happens except for when I don't have class. Some days I go to school and they tell me I'm only teaching 1st and 6th period, which means I sit for 5 hours in between and pretend to be busy. Some days I teach for 5 straight hours. Some days I don't get back to the office from teaching and meetings until after 5 with more paperwork and prep to do. I try to get out of the office by 5:00 so I can head over to the gym and coach basketball practice. Some days I get there, and some days I don't.
Monday night is my Sabbath--no TV, no computer, no phone--a date night for me and Jesus.
Tuesday night is my study night. Before that meant Japanese, but now it's my night to catch up on sermons.
Wednesday night is Bible study via Skype from 7:30-9:00. Getting home at 6:30 and having Bible study at 7:30 cuts it close, but luckily I don't have to go anywhere. Woot for technology!
Thursday night is English conversation class from 7:00-9:00. I teach a class of 10 (but only 3-4 show up) and we basically talk for 2 hours. It's always an interesting class.
Friday night is buy some dinner, watch TV, draw a bath, and then finish off with Skype.
I'm in the office, but I need to head off to a meeting. Then back to the office with paperwork before I head to the gym for practice. Home tonight with tomorrow's 6-hour practice and Sunday's 3-hour practice to figure out.
Just another week in the village.
