iPod morning commute music: N/A
This morning I just wasn't in the mood for music. Part of the reason is I am reading a great book that my parents sent me for my birthday: All the King's Men (restored edition) by Robert Penn Warren. For some reason, I find it hard to read literature and listen to music at the same time. For the last couple of weeks I had this problem reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and I can see All the King's Men will present the same problem. Great literature, great writing in general, demands full attention if you want full reward.
Today is a day for meetings and tying up loose ends here at work. Tomorrow, the graduating 9th graders have a special graduation church service in the morning, with the graduation ceremony itself on Wednesday. Then emphasis will shift towards preparation for the new Japanese school year which starts in April. I'll be especially busy for the next few days as I need to finish my prep before the British students and teachers visit for almost 2 weeks, from the 2nd through the 14th of April. I'll be hosting one of the teachers and helping to escort the group around Japan.
Finally, I need to mail in my absentee ballot for Tuesday's local election (school levy) after the teachers' meeting coming up at 2:00.
