Saturday Night's Alright for Planning Lessons...

That's not exactly how Elton's song goes. Oh, well.

I started a little lesson planning at 8:30 this evening and am finishing up (more like giving up) at 10:30. I'll be at work for hours tomorrow. No sense in staying up any later to work tonight.


Hours Worked today 2 hours
Total hours worked this year: 104.25
Salary for the year: $44,784
I'm making: $429.58 per hour


Weekends are generally the days that make me the most upset that I can't relax and just live the hours. I'm hopeful that this year I will be able to work a little later M-Thurs so that the next week's plans will be done ahead of time.  The grading will always be a thundercloud over my head, but if the planning is finished, my stress levels are mostly calm. 

I've only TAUGHT for three days so far this year. I've already worked quite a lot considering that fact. In fact, according to my contract, I've only been working for NINE days, which means, considering the hours I've put in so far, I have averaged over 11 hours per work day so far this year.  (Remember, too, that I haven't counted upwards of 15 hours of time I've been working with student mentors.) It adds up quickly.
