"I gotta see about a girl..."

(the quote is from Good Will Hunting)

I've been exhausted lately. Day One begins at 7:30AM (!) which has been a shock for me: shocking in that its earlier than I've gotten up for work in the past, and also shocking how well I've met the challenge. I'm out there and ready to be witty with the students and parents on the Union Patio by 8:00AM:


  • "This is your course catalog. There are many others like it, but this one is yours. Don't lose it; we keep extras at the end of an obstacle course, and they're close to impossible to get new ones."

  • "Hold on to your meal ticket, because you're going to be seperated into student and parent groups, and you will not see each other again until graduation."

Not my best material, I'll admit, but for 8am, its pretty good. And the delivery will only get more polished as the summer marches forth.

I wound up winning the cheer on Thursday with a brand new cheer we made up based on the Little Teapot Dance. I was christened the "DoDo" - the Duo Of the Day One (2 hosts do the cheer with the students.) I also got the HoDo - Host of the Day One (the person who gives 110%, exudes energy, etc) for Thursday...the first person to win both medals on a single day so far this year. I got to wear them today during Day One...I was so proud.

And then at lunch, I broke one of the medals. It was quickly fixed with masking tape, however.

Got back to my house and realized that I could either go take a nap, or get my energy back up. I made dinner, and talked to Shannon online. I went over to Collingdale to pick her up for some tennis. Unfortunately, the rain came as we got onto I76: the worst rain that I've seen in a long time, visibility was nothing. It was kinda scary: I was doing 20-30mph on I-76, others were doing the same for the most part but there were some idiots still trying to do 50. We got here and watched the first hour of "Waking Ned Divine," which was very funny. Drove her back; got back like 12:30. Finished laundry.

Thats what the quote refers to.

So tired. Slow day of making up medical records for freshmen (i.e. making folders with charts and their medical forms in them) tomorrow; at least it starts at 9AM, and not 7:30.
