Day 259 -- Losing time?

Today was exactly 2 weeks since term began. I'm beginning to feel behind in one course already. There is just so much to talk about and cutting back can be challenging -- I love it all and it is all interesting for students. So, this morning I added a couple extra photos to the slides for discussion in class at noon today. Then I worked on a few other items for this and the other course. On the hour, I packed up materials and walked next door to the lecture hall. As I walked in I saw several students who I knew were in the class, but saw two that I didn't recall being in the course. I got to the front of the room to set up, and saw a couple surprised looks on people's faces. I asked, "I  am not supposed to be here?" Luckily one great student told me that my class was in the next time block (he is in both courses). I was sure it was noon but it was only 11 AM. <sigh>

I've often thought it might be handy to have a personal assistant, a handler of sorts <grin>. This person would help me book appointments for MD, oil changes, and such. They could also let me know when I need to be where. It would clear a lot of clutter out of the brain and allow me to focus on a task without thinking of six different things that need to be done all at the same time. Well, I think it would be worth a try. I'm sure I'd have to win the lottery to ever test that hypothesis, though. 

Needless to say, a number of silly phrases ran through my head this morning. I chose this one lyric that seemed most appropriate for the situation. Enjoy!
