Today started with an interview at the district office for a substitute position.  The interview went great.  I thought I might be available to teach on Monday, but I have to get fingerprinted again, and I received a huge stack of paperwork to read and sign.  It looks like I won’t get this done until sometime late next week.  Since fingerprinting was done at the County Office of Education, and only by appointment, I opted to call them the moment I got out of the district office.  I got an 11AM appointment, so I went home, dropped off my stuff, and then went to the County office.  Fingerprinting took all of five minutes, but it took a while to get there.  On the way back, I got the propane for our gas grill.

It was now 12:30.  I guess I should start working on my finals, or that presentation that’s due next week.  I opted to play Minecraft instead.  I find that I don’t do well if I don’t get rolling in the morning.  I need momentum to get me through the afternoon.  No such luck today.  To keep my mind working, sometimes it’s good to do something different.  I am creating a Cathedral in Minecraft, a project that I estimate will take me 200 hours to complete.  So far, I only have the foundation laid, and the beginnings of the crypt.  We’ll see if I get a chance to progress things over the weekend.  At some point (probably Monday), I WILL need to complete my assignments.
