And just one make-up session for new teachers. A re-hash of what I got at Memphis City Schools, but better done, with more enthusiasm and encouragement. At least it didn't feel like a total waste of time. Keeping my eye on the end of the month when all these different meetings, testings, requirements, etc. are over. Plus, it just came to me, in about six weeks it will be Spring Break.
My one-on-one pupil gave the greenlight for Saturday, so another 4 hour session, but it should be lots easier. And I guess my rates must be reasonable, since nobody has said "no" yet. And even better, got a call from Ole Miss Tupelo where I did my first session, and they seem to be looking to have another one this spring. I will know more when I call them back, probably tomorrow.
The other call was the appointment for my CAT scan. I seem to get a lot of these, from nerve pinches in my neck to chronic sinus issues. Looks like I will be taking a half day from school, which I think is do-able, but it will be a first for me. Other teachers seem to do it quite a bit.
A big question right now is - do I splurge some of my tutoring money on an iPad, or wait for one more session and upgrade my computer? I have put a bunch of work into it to keep it alive, including an upgraded power supply and a mid-range video card. But it seems every 5 years I can invest the same amount and get more than double the RAM and hard drive storage (not that I ever use all of it, plus we have a USB backup of 500GB).
