The week in Preview

Over the past month, the schedule around here has gotten BUSY. It's great, but it has also become a challenge to keep up. Here's a quick breakdown:

4: number of universities/colleges we teach in each week
3: days a week that we are at the church for worship or church-led outreach
2: number of weekly night classes we teach
1: class of English/Bible storying taught on Saturdays

Our weekly schedule looks something like this:

Sunday: church 1-3, various and sundry meetings off and on for the rest of the day

Monday: class at T. College, class at A. College, Erin- extra class at C. University every other week, weekly lesson planning/prep.

Tuesday: Erin- class at C. University, Hannah and Rachel- class at T. College, all 3- class at A. Academy, evening church-led outreach

Wednesday: off day until evening night class for Intermediate/Advanced

Thursday: class at C. University, class at A. Academy, second class at A. Academy, another class at C. University, evening prayer meeting at church

Friday: class at T. College, Hannah has taken over tutoring a young man that I had been tutoring last semester, evening night class for beginners

Saturday: scheduled hanging out time with friends/contacts, English club/Bible storying with middle schoolers (Rachel has been teaching this with me and is helping shoulder the load there)

I spend a good chunk of my week planning lessons. I've found a few classes each week that can overlap lessons, which is such a blessing. However, it's very very tiring.
