I am unexpectedly in school today

Yesterday I was trying not to be disappointed in the fact that I only had two days scheduled at the end of this week.  I was thinking about how I would fill my days, and grocery shopping was definitely at the top of the list.  I also didn't do any laundry this weekend so that was going to fill some time, and I even thought I might take a walk out at the lake at the state park nearby...at least if I could get there early enough before the oppressive heat hit.  I had the laundry going in the washer and was enjoying my cup of coffee when the phone rang...much later than normal for a job for the day.  I was expecting that the teacher was going to schedule me for tomorrow or another time later in the week.  Nope!  Here I am at school today.  Honestly, it is not a fun job at all.  It is a classroom of pretty reluctant learners.  As I told one teacher, in some cases, it is more of defiant learner than a reluctant learner.  Those would be some of the young men who just got out of JDC in time to come to school.  So, definitely not my favorite classroom.  Tomorrow I managed to pick up another job in a class that should be more fun, then I'm back here again on Wednesday.  Thursday and Friday I was already scheduled in classes that I am looking forward to.  I am a little surprised to be working here all week, but here I am!
