A Day in the Life of Heather Through the Eyes of a BFF (Actually...Two Days)

BFF-Heather's day (or two days): as I see it.

Thursday
August 13, 2009


10:16 AM - I arrive at work. BFF-Heather is not here. (I think she is busy planning GYM TIME that is going to happen on Friday.)


----------------------------------------------------------

12:30 PM - I'm eating lunch. BFF-Heather is still not here. (Wow! I am impressed at the amount of prep-time BFF-Heather puts into GYM TIME. She is obviously not here because she is still planning for GYM TIME on Friday.)



----------------------------------------------------------

2:18 PM - Kindergarten is finished. BFF-Heather is preparing lessons for her students. (The lesson she focuses her preparations on most is GYM TIME. Honestly, I wish she would balance her preparation time a little more and devote equal amounts of preparation to all her classes. Fortunately enough for her GYM TIME classes, New York and Colorado class, though, she spends the majority of her week preparing for her 40 minutes-a-week of GYM TIME.


----------------------------------------------------------

3:22 PM - BFF-Heather is busy working at her desk. (There really is a desk there.) (The reason you usually can't see her desk throughout the week is that it is filled with either 1) GYM TIME equipment or 2) books on the subject of GYM TIME.)

August 14, 2009

10:20 AM - I get to work. BFF-Heather is not here. (Today is the big day. Every Friday, for 40 minutes, BFF-Heather gets to live her dream: GYM TIME Teacher!)


----------------------------------------------------------

1:32 PM - BFF-Heather is getting ready for the highlight of her week: GYM TIME!! (She is usually so excited about GYM TIME that when GYM TIME actually comes around she forgets she is actually the teacher. Often, she lines up with the kids ready to partake in the action.)


----------------------------------------------------------

1:50 PM - BFF-Heather is immensely enjoying the highlight of her week: GYM TIME!!! (What else needs to be said? GYM TIME!!!)


----------------------------------------------------------

3:20 PM - Even though GYM TIME ended an hour ago, BFF-Heather is still exhausted from all the excitement and thrills of GYM TIME!!! ("If only life was one big GYM TIME!!" -quote from BFF-Heather, usually heard once a week immediately after GYM TIME.)


----------------------------------------------------------

5:48 PM - BFF-Heather is conspicuously absent from her desk. (I suspect it's because she is busy planning next week's GYM TIME!!!)


----------------------------------------------------------

5:49 PM - Indeed, BFF-Heather was busy working on a Dance Party routine for next week's GYM TIME!!!! (She is very excited about it.)


----------------------------------------------------------

6:50 PM - BFF-Heather is busy molding the young minds of Korea. (Unconfirmed, but I suspect the lesson she is teaching here is about GYM TIME activities. Vocabulary for the day: jump rope, hop-scotch, jumping jacks, stretch, dance party)
