At the beginning of the day today, I had 31 layers left to cut and a sense that I was really doing something special. Here's a video to represent that.
Summiting Mount Everest
Since today was a C/F day (I'm not completely sure), I had 4 uninterrupted hours available to me from 8am to noon before going to biochem at 12:05. I knew that if I wanted to finish tomorrow, I would have to really work it today to put the summit in reach tomorrow. In the almost 4 hours (I did take a short break) I spent on the project this morning, I was able to finish 11 layers, which was really sweet. Really sweet. I really enjoyed getting completely engulfed in the project and just cutting layers like they're on blue light special at Kmart. Unfortunately for the sake of my own productivity, that was the vast majority of my work time today. I went to biochem before lunch, and then I was able to cut two more layers during lunch before heading down to combo class with guest artist Joe Gransden, who is playing at the Swing Concert on Sunday at 5:00pm. [Editor's Note: In case you weren't aware, you now have Sunday afternoon plans.] We had a really good rehearsal and I think this concert is going to turn out well. Joe is like a Harry Connick, Jr who also happens to be an outstanding trumpet player.
After rehearsal, I ran over to swim lessons with Kelly Keating, which is always a high-energy group of Lower Schoolers. We had a coaches meeting gossip session until 5:15ish, and then I changed and headed back up to my office only to find that the door was locked. Oh my heavens, what was I to do? Answer: Go back to band and enjoy dinner with Mrs. Todd, Mrs. Rue, and the eternally iconic Milton Stutz. As a result of the lockout I was unable to take a picture of the 76-layer product. Fear not, dear followers, for I can assure you that tomorrow will be a special day.
Get your bottled oxygen and your protein bars because tomorrow, we're going up into the Death Zone.
