I have already had enough summer and I don’t want to stay at home any more.
Although I like staying at home and I don’t really like talking with other people,
I would like some more structure in my life.
My work helps me to organize everything better.
Because I don’t have as much time during the school year, everything must be planned.
If everything is planned, it is more organized.
Life is easier if I have to work.
I know what I have to do every hour.
Follow me on a typical school day.
I wake up at 5 o’clock in the morning and brush my teeth.
Then I put on sports attire and go for a walk with Jojo.
We walk for about a half an hour.
At 5:30 I am at home again.
Jojo goes back into her dog kennel and I go upstairs to shower.
After the shower, I shave and put on pants and a shirt.
I tie my bow tie and go downstairs.
I make coffee and prepare my lunch.
If I am ready or it is already 6:30, I go out of the house.
If it is nice out, I go on foot to school,
but when it is raining or too hot or cold, then I drive with my car to school.
Ironically, it sometimes takes longer to drive to school with the car than to walk.
When I arrive at school,
I go through the mail room in order to see if I have received anything.
Normally, there are just advertisements from companies
that think I teach Spanish, because all foreign languages are Spanish.
French is Spanish, but the letters are dumb.
German is Spanish, but instead of “tacos” we say “sausage”. They are all the same.

After I have gotten my mail, I go to my office.
I normally only go in there to put my lunch in the refrigerator,
but sometimes I have to get something out of my office.
After that I go to my classroom.
I read and write a few emails.
If I need a worksheet or something like that for class,
I print one and go downstairs to make copies.
I don’t like the copy machine.
The paper jams or the staples are all gone or the toner
or it is simply out of order.
If everything works, I copy my worksheets and go back to my classroom.
On the way to the classroom, I get more coffee.
Coffee is a performance enhancing drug for teachers.
My first class begins at 7:20.
We start with the Pledge of Allegiance and the announcements.
Then I can teach. First I teach German 1.
They are the beginners.
They are usually in the 9th grade and have no idea how one really learns a language.
In the second hour, I teach German 2.
They are still beginners, but they can already speak some German.
In the third hour, I have time to write my lesson plans and grade worksheets and tests.
My day goes on like this until 1:50 pm.
Then school is out and the students go home.
I have to stay for another hour
and during that, I plan further make copies, or meet with the German Club.
The German Club is a group of students who have an interest in the German language and culture.
We have parties and play games.
At 3 o’clock I drive or walk home.
If I have time and Sophia isn’t at home yet,
I write a script for a video, record a video, edit one, upload one or sleep.
At 10 o’clock I go to bed and after that it all starts again from the beginning.
