Counting Down

Woot!

I'm counting the days until I get to fly to Tucson!

I am SOOOOO ready!

This weekend I had 47 people pre-registered

for my class.

Last month I had 43 registered and

30 of them showed up.

In a room that barely holds 28.

So I made arrangements with the owner of

the facility to set us up for the absolute

maximum.

They measured.

They brought in different chairs.
(the normal ones are wider and have arms)

They squished in an extra row of tables.

We were PREPARED!

Registration and handing out books

begins at 7:30.

Class starts promptly at 8:00.

At 7:45 I had FOUR, count 'em, FOUR

students.

Then, of course they began dribbling in.

I ended up with 11.

Sigh.

(Sunday 2 more showed up - who comes

to class on the SECOND day????)

Anyhow.

They were nice people,

friendly, with good, thoughtful questions.

So it was a good class and I actually

MUCH prefer a smaller class,

but I can guarantee if we hadn't done all the 

extra stuff, we would have had all 47 of 'em.

LOL

(During lunch the guy came in with an assistant

and took all the extra stuff back down again...)

Life of a teacher of adult education.

HOW many days until I fly out?????
