6:22 a.m. - I can't remember being so cold on a softball field as I was last night. We started at 4:30 p.m. with temperature at 42 degrees. Other schools around us postponed their games, but apparently the feels like temperature in Sherrard must have been warmer, even though it was windy too. I had on a t-shirt, long-sleeeve shirt, light coat, and heavy coat, tights, pants, gloves, and my winter head gear....all of that, and by the end of the night I was so cold I could barely move. Sterling had a separate bus arrive later with a full team, but we umpires had been informed that we were only going to play 2-3 innings of fresh-soph, so the Sterling people were upset. So after the lengthy varsity game, guess what...IT DIDN'T GET WARMER. I got back in the car, and my car temp said 37 degrees. While out there, I found myself asking, "Why do you want to play in this weather?" And the even better news is that I'm schedule do go to Galesburg today, and the temps are supposed to be about the same or colder. I am so tired, and I know it's from being out in that cold weather and wind. Oh well...I guess I'll sleep more when I'm dead. The good news about that I saw on the news is that life expectancy raised this year! Yay! Now the average life expectancy is 76.5 years old. Apparently that's a year longer than last year's rating. So I have about 18 years left? That doesn't sound like much time. Maybe I can work to beat the average....standing out in the cold weather likely won't help!
The rest of yesterday went okay. The representative from Monmouth College was good. Today, students complete the Illinois Science Assessment, so it will be a bit of a weird day. Tomorrow there is no rep visiting as well, and apparently now Mrs. Bohnsack doesn't need to meet with the students, so I'll have them tomorrow. It won't be a great lesson plan, but that's okay. I still have a goal of having nothing to grade going into Spring Break.
