Plague School Teaching: Day One

[stevenpiziks]

I've noted elsewhere that during the Time of Isolation, I would run twice a day instead of just once.  When I'm at work, you see, I'm usually on my feet, and I get my minimum number of steps each day at just my job.  Now, though, my teaching day will be spent at a computer, so we have to change things up. I also decided I'll need a regular schedule. It'll keep me focused and stop me from being "on" for work all day and night.

My schedule runs like this:
7:00 AM - Get up.  (I'm sleeping in! Usually I'm up before 6:00.)
7:10 - Run for half an hour.
7:45 - Shower and breakfast.
8:00 - At my computer.
12:00 - Lunch break
2:30 - End student interaction (no more answering emails or comments)
3:00 - Log out of GC

Today, I got up, ran, showered, breakfasted, and logged into GC. None of my students had responded to the lesson materials yet. (No surprise, really.)  I checked my rosters to see who hadn't enrolled in GC yet and busied myself with other tasks.

Dinah has decided that, since I'm home, I should be her personal armchair.
