Tuesday, October 5

5:45 a.m. - Last night I had my last Iowa high school volleyball match on my current schedule.  I've found that "last" is generally a relative term in the world of officiating and umpiring.  Inevitably, whenever I think "last", something else crops up, or someone needs a last-minute sub, etc...  So for now, that was my last Iowa volleyball match.  Yesterday before the volleyball match I was able to get into Central Pool Supply and get some liquid chlorine - chlorine (or money) I'll be pouring into the pool soon, perhaps as early as this morning when the sun comes up.  

At school, I pushed out the presentation assignment for students to begin working on.  Many of them saw the October 14 due date and just then wasted time.  As the old saying goes, you can lead the horse to water, but it's got to decide to drink.  Okay, maybe that's not the exact saying, but it's my version.  

Today, should be a manageable day, and I don't have to cover a study hall, which is nice.  I didn't enjoy that at all.  It's true my patience with students seems to decrease every day, but throw a few squirrely freshmen in the mix, and I'm about ready to turn in my retirement papers on the spot.

Tonight it's back to varsity volleyball.  This time I'm at Sherrard, and they host Riverdale.  Sherrard should win everything, and I might just take the stand for the varsity game.
