it's thursday

7:00 my alarm goes off, i hit snooze twice, then reset it for 7:30
7:30 get out of bed, go to shower
8:09 done with shower, sit down to breakfast, eat two pieces of toast
8:30 brush teeth, leave apartment
8:39 i see the 3 tram, run across 2 streets, both with red crossings (in germany there is no ''don't walk'' sign, even though i would like to see one)
8:45 arrive at pirnaischer platz to teach my first class
9:05 my student arrives
10:30 my class is finished, i quickly write down what we did in our session and leave
10:50something: catch the 3 to the university
10:59 get to my german class's building
11:03 run around with another guy from my german class--we're both lost. we run back to the ground floor and he points out our teacher, so we follow her.
12:40 german class is over. off to my next--20th century american short stories
1:08p i'm late for class, so i run in like a hurricane and sit at the only seat left
2:30 class is over, i hang back and bs with the professor about my complicated schedule
2:40 i've reserved a computer room for my classes, so i go to the media center desk and ask for the key
2:50 class starts--the most low-maintenance day for this class--cv writing. i start to prepare for tomorrow's lessons: a couple who work from a grammar book, and a girl who's preparing for her TOEFL test. sometimes people have questions about cv writing, but it's mostly a sea of pounding on logitech keyboards.
4:20 class is over, some students have finished, some have not. i wonder how i'm going to teach two of these classes in a row when i actually have to teach something. am not completely sure if i'm done preparing but i put the books away because i feel pretty dead and have been staring at an illustration that depicts that ''Marvin has washed his car!'' for the past 3 minutes.
4::40 the next class comes in. i write next week's schedule in my planner. i need an eraser.
5:48 bastian texts me to see when my class ends. i realize he still doesn't know my schedule and neither do i.

at 6:10 my class will be over and i'll probably walk to reichenbachstr. to get the tram. it'll talk me around 30 minutes to make it back to my apartment. i'll walk in the door and the cat will be waiting to be fed. bastian and i will eat dinner at like 7 and maybe watch ''frasier'' because i'm too tired to do much else. i'll remember how i have to teach at 9:20 and walk around, gathering scripts and making sure i have everything i need for a another 10 hour day. bastian will complain i work too much before turning to work on matlab. we probably need a vacation. we just took one in august. i saw one of my friends and he asked how many classes i'm teaching and taking and he said, ''that's all? that's a pretty easy semester.'' so i wonder if i'm just being lazy. i don't know many students personally and can't really compare. it's three weeks into the semester and i wonder if i can join anymore classes. i make a note in my planner to check.
