Things to Do Before Monday

Create a lesson plan for the two acting 105 classes I'm teaching while the instructor is out of town.

Create a lesson plan/agenda for the teaching assistant in-service meeting I'm leading this semester while the head of the program is out of town.

Create a rehearsal/training schedule for the Country Wife rehearsal I'm leading on Monday evening while the director is out of town. (I'm teaching his acting classes for him too. It's not like the entire university faculty is gone.)

Create a lesson plan for my own Comm 101 classes. (Obviously, I'm not going anywhere.) edit - DONE!!

Check the online discussion forums for my Comm 101 classes to be sure everyone's behaving and not confused.

Clean the house. Because our housecleaner did a very good thing for herself and quit the week before classes started. The week I began all-day training for the incoming teaching assistants. So it's been two weeks now of Dave and me running into the house dropping one load of stuff, picking up another load of stuff and leaving again. God, I hope we can find someone else to do the cleaning. I don't think I can do it and maintain the schedule I have right now. (On the other hand, she's got a job with benefits and a steady paycheck now.) - Edit 8-25-06 - the living room and hallway are clean. I'm calling that a partial completion.

Grocery shopping. Edit 8/25/06 - Done!

Laundry - Edit 8/26/06 - Partly done. Dave's covering while I go to the workshop.

Attend the Psychology & Communications Faculty & Staff BBQ tonight. This is a great group of people. They're including me in everything. So warm and friendly. Edit 8/26/06 - This was a tremendously fun event. I like the idea of being faculty. Even if I'm just pretending to be while someone else is away. I enjoy it. I want to be faculty. In a department that seems to be as full of nice people as the Psych Dept. (Quote of the evening from the Chair, in discussing his youth spent working in lockdown with schizophrenics, "Because it turns out running down the street naked wielding a sword is not only crazy, it's illegal.")

Go to my friend Maaike's house to play silly games and laugh a lot.Edit 8/26/06 - This was a HUGE amount of fun. Once Upon a Time is a great game. GREAT game.

Attend the all-day Reiki Okuden level workshop Saturday from 9-5.

Attend a Saturday evening performance of Waning Moon, a one-act play by a friend & colleague of ours, starring, among others, our former housekeeper.

Take pictures of the Arboretum on Sunday.

The thing is, I can do all of these things, but they take time. And I'm not sure there's enough time to get them all done and focus on things like, maybe, beginning to learn my lines for Salesman and sleeping.
