mereilinAnd in non-crayfish-related news (sorry, the tank is right next to the computer)...
We're settling into Fall here and the accompanying schedule change. Danny is the proud custodian of a well-used trombone. I gave him his first "lesson" tonight -- I played trombone in middle school. He's already getting some decent sounds out of it.
Even more frightening, Sadie is a total natural with this thing.
FAMILY BAND!
Ahem.
Anyway, I'm taking the 'bone in to school Monday to have the band director check it out. And I'll be back at school on Tuesday to help in the library during Danny's class. I was there today for Sadie's, helping the kids find books but mostly [dun dun DUN...] SHELVING. Ugh, what a thankless, tedious job.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aerrin, O library expert, does it get easier with practice? or at least quicker? The worst part of it is for every book I put away I found three that were shelved wrong, and this doesn't even take into consideration the ones that were knocked onto the floor or stuck horizontally across the top of the shelved books.
What else? I'm back to teaching with a full complement of adult students. Danny and Sadie have each had their first ballet class of the season, and Nutcracker auditions are tomorrow. I'm NOT teaching little kids, and this makes me very happy.
The kids are still doing karate twice a week.
Homework is being done, and we haven't missed the bus yet (although we've come close).
I do love September.

Date: 2008-09-20 04:22 am (UTC)No, I don't think it gets that much faster, although perhaps easier. It's tedious because it always involves lots of little numbers and such, and you will always find stuff in the wrong place. It's so very easy for a book to just disappear in the stacks of a library because someone shoved it on the wrong shelf.
Er. Sorry to say!
