Responsibilities

Since the new school year began, I have been relieved of some responsibilities and taken on a few more.  First, I am no longer a teacher in the college.  After the college of accounting ended last year with zero students, there was some restructuring which ended up restructuring me out of a teaching position.  I didn't mind so much because I am still running the drama club which is much less daily effort on my part and more fun despite the frequent crises and emotional outbursts common among dramatic people.  I think they've already threatened to quite twice this year.  In the secondary, I am still teaching computers, but I have Form 3 and Form 4 so I spend a lot of time opening the lab for the students evenings and weekends.  Instead of teaching Science this year, I am assigned to Form 1 Math.  I wasn't sure about the move, but so far I am enjoying Math a little more.  Science often required equipement that wasn't easily available so I spent a lot of time running around trying to get demonstrations set up only to have them not work.  This year, I am in charge of organizing the Bakhita Feast, and I'm not really sure how it happened.  I was in a meeting and blacked out for a little while, which I usually do in meetings, but this time I was apparently answering "yes" to all questions asked to me in my blackened state.  I woke up to find out that I was running the show.  I was watching/judging the rehersals and realized, as usually, I don't really know what I'm doing.  My thoughts about one dance performance were something like "Most of them were in sync, not all of them were out of time, and only one of them fell off the stage...it's good, next".  It wasn't that bad, but it is definitely a position for someone who is more descriminating in such matters (anyone other than me).  For secondary extra-curricular activities, I have landed the sweet gig of mini-soccer patron.  No, we do not have a Foosball table...we have two of them.  They are in the school hall along with the ping-pong table and the big screen TV  (What!?...I'll just leave you wondering if I'm serious or not).  Anyway, being the mini-soccer coach, I have to try and get 35 girls in some sort of order so that everyone gets to play.  I had them get in teams of 3 and come up with names.  The more interesting team names are the Pineapples, the Grapes, Liverpool, and The Danger Sisters (my favorite).
