Tick Tock

20:00 Last night I had Italian food at Giuseppi Verdi...yum! 60,000 pesos = salad, meat/pasta, bottle of Argentinian Cab-Sauv
5:45  Awoke before alarm from traffic. 
6:50  Relayed my name and address into the 3-111111 taxi system
7:20  Processed paperwork for new cedula with the help of school-hired Aviatura
8:00  Found a second taxi to school after the first one kicked me out "No Puedo Ir al Colegio" due to pico placa (i.e. there's a lot of traffic here so not everyone can drive on every road every day)
8:45  Proctored MAP testing and got to planning geometry
11:00 Early lunch with friends I don't usually see at school... BTW now I need the geometry teacher's edition
12:30 Barbecuing (not really, but it's a West Wing joke)
12:40 Started a class as a substitute, one-hour parent-student-counselor-vice principal meeting, finished a class as a substitute for five minutes
14:15 A student from Washington DC came in to catch up from moving here, another came in after three weeks to finally earn a 4 (highest grade), and another told me his Mom is in hospital (just diagnosed with MS) and he has been taking care of his 8 year old sister because Dad is in Panama
15:30 Walking to the bus:
     ME:  Hey, I found your book for you [that you lost two weeks ago]!
     HER: I told you it was in the room!
     ME:  How about, "Hey Mr. Rumack, thanks for finding my book?"
     HER: No, I told you it was there!
     ME:  Wow, do you talk to your Mom like that?
     HER: Yes.
16:00 Rehearsed lines on the bus for Friday's staff play
16:30 Ironing. Refusing to get a maid... for now... but it's really inexpensive...
17:00 Radio station 103.9 has a mix of afternoon talk, Aerosmith, and jazz... Farmville and online chats.... laundry... snacking on peanuts
19:00 Eggs with ham and liberally applied Tabasco! 
20:00 Arromatica, arrepa con queso topped with more cheese!
21:30 Zzzzzzz
