Musical Chairs
8:00 went to school #1 with 3 applications, hoping they would take 1. Or 2.8:45 filled out registration info for student at school #2. He is out of district, so they will call me later (once they verify I really did get out of district permission) to get an appointment to get classes.
9:15. Called host family. They want a second student (yay!) who is, coincidentally, one of the applications for school #1.
10:30 School #1 will take all three students!!!!!
12:15 School #1 has paperwork ready. Pick it up, scan 12 pieces of paper and send it off to bosses' boss. Find out that one of those 3 students has a pending placement. Celebrate by making coffee and playing really stupid computer games.
3:00 find out that another of the 3 students is no longer available. pick out two more students and send them to school #1, who is pretty tired of approving students they are not going to get. Inform bosses' boss of choices. Find out that one of 2 new students got placed since I sent the e-mail to the school. This was about 15 minutes.
3:30 make brownies and lick bowl. Didn't actually eat any brownies, they were for a potluck and ALL GOT EATEN. Not exactly fair.
4:00 look for more information, including flights for student arriving in my house. Close all windows (on the computer), close all house windows (hot wind, 92 F outside) and read instead.
5:50 find out that the second of the two new students has a pending placement; pick two more students and leave for potluck, at which I did not get any chocolate at all.
8:50 get one student reserved for me and ask for another. Realize School #2 hasn't called me back. Consider making more brownies, get a glass of wine instead. It's faster. Console myself that 1 student is still available for school #1, if he accepts (which he will at this late date) and it is even the student with a potential host family. And I found 2 of the 3 host families I mentioned in the previous post.
